Public bug reported:
If I choose to shutdown my system from the menu the first operation that
takes place is all of my applications are closed. It seems more like
first I should be prompted for my password and once I succeed in
authenticating myself it then closes my X session.
When I cancel out of typing in my password I would expect to get back to
my desktop that I had setup. That is unfortunately not the case if I
click cancel I am dropped to the GDM login page. From there if I click
shutdown or reboot I am no longer asked for my password the application
just refocuses on the login window. I would expect a password dialog so
I can shut down my system from the GUI.
If I click hibernate, however, the system hibernates. That seems like
exactly what was trying to be avoided with the password entry for
shutdown/reboot, namely some normal user stopping the system.
I am using the latest version of Lucid as of 1.29.2010.
If this is one of those well the software is alpha etc etc I am fine
with that I just wanted to make sure it was known.
