I for one like the simple logout dialog approach. The fading or washing out feature ala WinXP doesnt make the dialog stand out more IMHO. Aside from the eyecandy aspects of the logout dialog, is there any work going into the functionality-side of the Gnome logout? Logging out with unsaved data still clobbers everything that was running without prompting the user to save changes. Are there any plans in the works to implement a "save unsaved changes" hook to the logout procedure? Prompting to save unsaved changes and holding until confirmation, seems like it would be a more useful feature in the spirit of the Just Works philosophy, since unlike with other DEs' people might be used to, they now potentially have unsaved work on four desktops instead of just one.
