RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

GNOME Bugzilla 782786 0 Normal RESOLVED Selecting shutdown/logout of Gnome session, all QT windows are closed 2021-01-22 20:56:18 UTC

Description jigar 2016-09-23 12:10:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

Selecting Logout from Gnome Shell causes a Logout dialog to appear. *When this dialog is rendered*,  many Qt-based application windows will disappear immediately. If the user then cancels out of the dialog, those applications are still gone even though no actual action to log out has been taken. Inspecting the running processes shows that some may still be running, so it's possible they aren't killed immediately, just unmapped by X.

The Shutdown/Restart dialog has the same problem behavior.
Other Gnome Shell modal popups (e.g. the command line available from Alt+F2) do not.

It is reproducible in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 with custom applications written in Qt 4.8.5. (Some of these are launched in /etc/xdg/autostart to provide domain-specific menus and controls on the desktop.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.14.4-37


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install RHEL7.2 Server using the "Server with GUI" preset.
2. Install the qt-x11 and qt-devel packages from the DVD.
3. Launch Qt Designer (designer-qt4 from the command line).
4. Select Logout or Shutdown from the Gnome top-right menu. (Alternative: invoke gnome-session-quit from the terminal.)
5. Designer window will disappear immediately.
6. Cancel out of the dialog.
7. Note that the Designer window is still missing.

Actual results: User logout attempt kills the qt based applications on Gnome before confirmation for Logout/Shutdown/Restart.


Expected results: User can cancel out of a Logout or Shutdown dialog without degrading the state of currently running applications; applications should only be killed when Logout or Shutdown operation is confirmed.



Additional info: The bug is also reproducible upstream in latest version of Fedora

This doesn't appear to be a problem with the dialog by itself:
$ gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell \
             --object-path /org/gnome/SessionManager/EndSessionDialog \
             --method org.gnome.SessionManager.EndSessionDialog.Open 0 0 30 '[]'

Monitoring the org.gnome.SessionManager name, it appears that qt has some integration with gnome-session (in particular inhibitors). I suspect that the issue is that this integration is faulty, but let's start moving to gnome-session (which handles the actual session phases and inhibitors) for further investigation.

Fixed with qt-4.8.7-1.el7.
