I think logout and reboot/shutdown actions should not be offered together. IMO home users on a desktop usually do shutdown at the end, reboot or logout just sometimes (at least this is my experience). On the other hand in web applications you usually use logout, reboot/shutdown is really unusual. Moreover the remote system may be used by several users at once, it may be located in a different country etc., desktop user is usually the only user in the system. Therefore I would not use the desktop approach and make these actions less visible, i.e. they don't need to be accessible at all pages (in the header). Robert suggested adding buttons to the status part of the control center (to the right side). -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: [email protected] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
