Yep :(

It is an ugly "end-usering" in the *indows style.

Although it seems to be an upstream issue, maybe fix it at FC locally (at least
for a while)?

It just set AUTOMATIC_ACTION_TIMEOUT (an internal one-place-used macro in
panel-logout.c file) to zero :)
Comment 3 Kevin Cozens 2006-09-28 23:54:13 UTC 
I have noticed the same problem. Under FC4 I was able to tick a checkbox at log
out to save my current session. No matter what I have tried so far, I can not
get FC5 (running Gnome) to give me the option of saving my session on log out.
As a result, I have had to stick to using "save session always" which is not
what I really want. I want to be able to "snapshot" my current session set up
and have it reppear the next time I log in.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-15 21:51:55 UTC 
this is fixed now, I believe.  I just set the logout_prompt key to false and i
didn't get a dialog.
