Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:28 EST
Description of problem: Gnome-panel Preferences | more preferences | Sessions | Ask on Logout checkbox no longer works, it just does nothing, You still get prompted whether you like it or not Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Lateset gnome-panel gnome-panel-2.14.0-1 How reproducible: Every time, every user Steps to Reproduce: 1. goto Sessions 2. uncheck box "Ask on logout" 3. logout Actual results: You get prompted even though you turned it off. Expected results: You should be able to logout and bang you're logged out with no confirmation dialogs or any other stuff to waste your time. Additional info: This worked in FC4
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)?
Created attachment 130670 [details] An easy and ugly patch to fix this It just set AUTOMATIC_ACTION_TIMEOUT (an internal one-place-used macro in panel-logout.c file) to zero :)
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.
this is fixed now, I believe. I just set the logout_prompt key to false and i didn't get a dialog.
