For example: * you say CAD should be blocked, <the reason> * shutting down X11 should not be blocked -- and somehow this reason from above does not apply It is funny that CAD or power button can be pressed by accident, but all of the sudden ctrl+alt+backspace is always pressed intentionally. How is this possible?
users may tend to use this combination to reboot the guest machine.
Uhm, and the guest machine is... opensuse. So you say the user would like to use CAD in opensuse but on the other hand you have to prevent using it by the user? Reopening, it makes no sense. If I am not right, please explain this to me how _installer_ of opensuse 11.1 is able to play a role of host system and run vmware/virtualbox on the side. However I didn't get why you started with guest/host system anyway, because it has nothing to do with this report.
Switching to text console (or shutting down X11) first is common practice,
Do you use Gnome or KDE? You really switch to text console in order to turn off computer? Or you just press power off button? Even my Mom does this. The way you force user to make hoops just to do such simple task as switching off computer is not acceptable -- it is completely not intuitive. Every computer has button "power off". This button is for shutting down computer. And using _it_ is common practice. Please respect this.
current behavior is what most of the users expect.
Can I see a survey backing up this claim?
From my experience I've never seen user afraid of pressing power off button, and despite it could be "dangerous" as well as within installer, I never saw one mistake.
Btw. please see comment #4.c -- this is bug on its own, another reason this issue is valid. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
