Description Thomas Meyer 2011-02-11 12:11:53 UTC

Description of problem:
I start the X server from the command line as gdm seems to have keyboard problems in rawhide. so by starting X via "startx" I get into the gnome-shell/mutter.
In the gnome-shell there is no option to logout/restart/shutdown the computer when started via "startx". Also there seems to be no option to lock the screen. but the key combination "ctrl+alt+l" gets me into the lock screen.

There seems to be another bug in the lock screen: when I'm in the lock screen and gnome was started from the command line via "startx" and when I press "change user" in the lock screen I get into a screen, that offers no options or anything else. You get stuck there.

okay, the restart/logout/halt options are hidden beneath the instant-messaging icon. I just scanned the first three entries and missed the logout option on the end of the option list.

it's maybe better to seperate the instant messaging stuff and the system management stuff into two seperate icons.

because the way it is currently, it easily gets missed!

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2011-02-11 15:38:05 UTC

It's not the instant messaging icon, it's the user menu.

Closing this since Red Hat bugzilla isn't really a great place to make UI suggestions for GNOME and we're not going to change this for GNOME 3.0 / F15 at this point.
