Ted, I don't really follow that rationale. Did adding the timer have a significant hit on the time it took for the dialog to appear that it justifies removing a subtle backup strategy (which is, in the case of turning off an enormous, power-hogging machine before going on a month long vacation, actually extremely useful) and diverging further from upstream?
I probably have some bias here, but I think appearing quickly is only half of the issue in a confirmation dialog like this being noticed. It also has to appear in the right place, which for this dialog is debatable. On a big HD screen, for example, the confirmation dialog is a world apart from the menu by which the user chose to shut down. For some users, that does make a significant difference. If what Dino99 says was a major issue, I'm happier, but otherwise I think this fluctuation is a bit odd. -- Shutdown timer no longer appears https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
