Lots of improvements made in GShutdown since May 2008 (GShutdown 0.2 release),
see
http://svn.tuxfamily.org/viewvc.cgi/gshutdown_gshutdown/ChangeLog?view=markup
But Ubuntu 12.04 and older includes old and buggy GShutdown 0.2 :(
Btw, last active GShutdown developer told me "gshutdown is no longer developed
nor maintained", see text bellow.
So, I've chosen to improve Gpoweroff, which is an alternative to GShutdown
written in Python/Gtk, see
https://launchpad.net/gpoweroff
I've improved Gpoweroff - added Hibernate and Suspend actions, changed dbus
commands to modern universal org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit instead of outdated
(and GNOME-depending) org.gnome.SessionManager
Patched Gpoweroff works fine with latest Ubuntu/Kubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 releases
Main GShutdown developer Philip Peitsch promised me to add my improvements to
official Gpoweroff sources and release new Ubuntu packages in
ppa:gpoweroff/stable repository, see bug #973577
Please include Gpoweroff instead of unmaintained and not working
Gshutdown in Ubuntu repositories.
Newest Gpoweroff can also be installed from official Baltix GNU/Linux
repository (ppa:baltix-members/ppa ), see
