Another vote for this being a mistake. I have a notebook computer. This means:
1. I have limited screen real estate. 2. I seldom quit or logout, I nearly always suspend to RAM. The menubar is *very* privileged territory. To require a special power button thingie up there, little as it is, is an imposition. Menus, on the other hand, are a very efficient use of space. Having a quit in the System menu is very clean choice. Unlike, say, looking at the time, quitting is a rare operation. It should not be a required always-there feature. On a notebook having a battery state indication is valuable, and having it double as a menu for suspending works great. For those rare times I actually want to quit, a more general purpose menu is a perfect place to go. Then again, I can't be trusted. I think button bars are stupid, too. (Why do people hate menus so much? They are compact and organized, and for frequent operations they can have nicely self-documenting keyboard equivalents. Why should infrequent operations get dedicated full-time screen space? Can this stupud idea finally go out of style?) Thanks, -kb, the quiet and unassuming Kent with no opinions. P.S. Is there a way to hack this back in until it gets fixed? -- no "usability sane" way to reboot jaunty without mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337775 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 -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
