Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 13:09:58 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Those 2 gnome bugs are have both been closed.

Is this still a bug for the reporter?

Comment 3 Craig Routledge 2009-02-25 16:58:13 UTC
The keyboard shortcut now does something.  Unfortunately, it calls up the shutdown dialog (System->Shut Down) instead of the logout (System->Log Out) dialog.

I'm not sure what package is responsible for this.  I am using Fedora 10 with the latest updates as of today:

dbus-1.2.4-2.fc10.x86_64
gnome-session-2.24.3-1.fc10.x86_64

Comment 4 lexual 2009-02-25 22:01:18 UTC
What is the keyboard shortcut ?

Comment 5 Craig Routledge 2009-02-26 18:02:13 UTC
Ctrl-Alt-L, but changing it (via System->Preferences->Personal->Keyboard Shortcuts) yields the same result.

Comment 6 lexual 2009-02-26 22:47:59 UTC
Confirming for Fedora 10.
Shortcut for logout, actually tries to shutdown (shows shutdown,restart, suspend, etc).

By default logout shortcut is c-a-delete.
Changing to c-a-l yields same result.

Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2010-02-15 03:01:22 UTC
If anything, this is a bit of a mismatch between the description of the key ("Log out"), and the action that gnome-settings-daemon takes (it runs gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog). 

On the other hand, the name of the key 'power' seems a pretty clear indication that it is meant to be bound to XF86XK_PowerOff

Comment 9 Bastien Nocera 2010-10-27 14:24:26 UTC
Done upstream for GNOME 3.x:

commit ab84878bc5b2492858ea81f1a510b91db51e1ae9

    media-keys: Make the "log out" key really do that
    
    We already have a power key, as handled by gnome-power-manager, so make
    the key described as "log out" really offer the user to log out, and not
    power down the machine.
