Description of problem: PackageKit has no method for closing the application. Every user interface should have an accessible and safe method for closing the applicaiton. There is no method for closing the system tray packageKit Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all How reproducible: Every single time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora 2. PackageKit starts updating and will not allow you to close it Actual results: There is no X closing button metaphor. There is no file close. The program cannot be ended any other way than kill 9 Expected results: A decent, safe method for closing the application just like every other application on every operating system. Additional info: This is a significant problem for low power devices. If you have an intel Atom or Via CPU PackageKit will render the operating system unusable. With no way to end the process this makes fedora completely broken on low power devices and embedded system closing an entire market of devices.
You can click on the icon, and click on the task to cancel the system update. There's no point quitting the session program as packagekid is running system wide as the root user, and exiting the session won't kill the system process (by design). >this makes fedora completely broken on low power devices and >embedded system closing an entire market of devices Please also stop loading the hyperbole. I'm using PackageKit on a 800Mhz VIA CPU here and it's quite usable. There must be something wrong with your configuration or you might have a bug that isn't showing on my system but please stop the over-reaction. Thanks.
Why isn't there a close function when the taskbar item is right clicked? Also, having close and cancel on the same panel in the downloading packages popup is confusing. Both have a "red" close interface metaphor. Why not just have a stop button, if the user only wanted to minimise the window and allow it to keep working they will use the minimise button. Make close buttons do what the user assumes they will do and stop the application.
