Description Chris Coulson 2008-10-30 00:08:42 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
This was originally reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/290851 by Adrian Bridgett:

"I hit the power button in the taskbar, then thought "actually I'll just send an email first". I didn't close the shutdown option box, but left it on the screen (and I didn't see that it would _automatically_ shutdown in 30secs). So in the middle of an email, the box shutdown (which was doubly annoying as I normally just suspend/resume)."

The shutdown dialog should only begin to timeout when there is no user activity.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to System -> Shutdown
2. Decide to do something else briefly (ie, send e-mail), without closing the shutdown dialog


Actual results:
After 60 seconds, the machine will shut down regardless of what you are doing

Expected results:
The machine should only shut down after 60 seconds with no user activity.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Assuming that this problem is obsolete nowadays. 

If you can still reproduce this problem with a recent version (currently: 3.38) of GNOME / gnome-session, then please report this at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/ and follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines - thanks a lot!
