Hi, concerning the shutdown/restart functionality of webYaST I`d like to propose to do it in a similar way as it is done on the desktop instead of creating a single module. How this solution might look like can be viewed at: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Concept_restart_shutdown_logout_1.odp Just click on "Exit" in the upper right corner and then a pop up appears which asks the user how he would like to end the session: * logout: just ends the session and returns to login screen * restart: restarts the system and prompts a login screen * shutdown: shuts down the system Please note that this is just a draft to show you the idea behind it. That means that icons and labels are just quick placeholders :-) I would suggest not to use any additional explanatory text (e.g. Shutdown - Shuts down your system) because the text would show only a limited amout of additional information and might annoy the target user group. The reasons to do something similar as it is done by the desktop would be: * consistency with user expectations and the users concepts of shutting down a graphical environment * to avoid confusion because the shutdown module would be on the same hierarchical level as a single module but affect the whole system and not just a single part of it * modules are used for configuration and shutdown/reboot is unrelated to configuration Looking forward to your comments, Martin -- Martin Schmidkunz User Experience Specialist martin.schmidkunz@novell.com +49 (0) 911 740 53-346 ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Novell, Inc.
