Not trying to be facetious but I actually did go on vacation for 4 days only to come back and find the computer still on, due to this change :D That's what happens when using beta software, so no complaints.
I personally dislike the idea of a second dialog at all; it doesn't provide any additional options regarding shutting down (since those are already in the same drop-down). It seems reasonable that clicking "shut down" would cause the computer to do just that. My personal preference aside, I do understand the reasoning to allow for people to reverse effects of accidental clicks. The countdown was a good compromise to allow for both. That's how KDE still handles it. As far as the dilemma of making the OS modal, I don't see that as an issue since the user has already clicked "shut down", so whether or not they see the dialog they should expect an action to occur, and in the case of accidental clicks, be on the lookout for the dialog to negate the action. Please consider these points. Either way, at least for the time being I know it was an intentional change and not an oversight. -- 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
