However, it should be design problem for gnome-session and gdm. When gnome-session exited, gdm had no idea about the exit reason, and restarted the greeter with X all the time. It's better that gdm quietly quit when user select restarting the computer.
This is actually what the patch implements ;-) The thing is that you can't really say it's a gnome-session/gdm communication issue, since it will also be a xfce/gdm issue, or kde/gdm issue, or... With this patch, if reboot/shutdown has been asked by the user, then gdm will notice it via the runlevel and we'll be (relatively) happy. FWIW, I forwarded the patch upstream since, even if it's a workaround, it can be useful to make shutdown/reboot a tiny bit faster: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599180 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
