Malcolm 10/21/11 3:33 PM >>> Hi My vote is for No. Shutdown is still there via the alt key?

My problem with this is, how are users (many of whom will be new to GNOME 3.x) know to press the Alt key?

Why, all the shell extensions will move to be user based via the sweettooth browser plugin and won't be installed system wide.

Trouble is there is no time line for this to happen :( so in the interim users will install, however the site may/may not be live by release time. My other thought was maybe if you decide to install that it's offered as a pullin script like flash after the install is complete, might be easier to remove from the patterns? I guess we need to work out once the sweettooth plugin system is available, how it would be installed...?

I agree that sweettooth will change nature of plugins, and when sweettooth is available we will have to revisit this one I'm proposing this primarily as an urgent RFC to address a specific pain point we're going to have with this release I would like to think we will be able to find a better longer term solution going forward - such as re-exposing many of the power management/shutdown features to our users so they can easily decide what options they want when it comes to shutdown, etc. In the meantime though, I think without alt-status-menu we're going to have a lot of people viewing on GNOME 3.x negatively, and I'd rather avoid that given almost everything else about G3.x is awesome.
