Description David Prieto 2009-04-19 03:05:14 UTC
Originally sent to Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/289673

Intrepid sports a new close menu. It would be cool to have an option on it, to delay the chosen option. This would allow the user to watch a movie in bed, for example, without fear of falling asleep and leaving his PC on during all night.

This already exists as a modifier for the "shutdown" command; this would just make it more accessible to the casual user.

Which was never upstream.

Setting "Automatic Suspend" to On after X minutes, and using a video player which correctly inhibits idle would have the same effect, without the need to change the logout dialogue. I can only imagine setting the dialogue timeout to 60 minutes and seeing it shutdown in the middle of you typing a mail because you forgot it was set to shutdown.

In any case, reassigning this to gnome-shell where the logout dialogue is now implemented.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
