Description of problem: There is too much redundancy in the "new" shutdown command from the menu. KDE Desktop. Select "F" Select "Leave" Get Choice (Logout/Lock/Switch User/Suspend to RAM/Suspend to Disk/Shutdown/Restart) Select "Shutdown" ------ Now one gets another popup menu that has the same choices. (Logout/Turn off Computer/Restart Computer) (with submenu options "Suspend to Ram" and "Suspend to Disk". ------ I would encourage either eliminating the confirmation pop-up, or keeping the popup, and eliminating the choices from the menu, leaving only a "shutdown" button. ------ I would also add a choice of "Clean Shutdown" which would forget all the open programs/windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): KDE Desktop (not applicable in Gnome) Fedora 10 Snap2 & Snap3 I see also in Fedora 9. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: (see above)
Nod, many a upstream bug reported on this already. :( Unfortunately, there is no simple fix. I can dig up some of the upstream bug references if you like. In the meantime, my current favorite workaround is: right click Desktop -> logout (or ALT-F2, type: logout) which avoids one level of redundancy.
AFAIK this has finally be fixed in 4.2 (the confirmation dialog now only shows the selected option and cancel).
Other possibility - you can add Lock/Logout Plasma applet to your panel and avoid unnecessary steps in F menu.
