Description NoOne Else 2009-12-10 09:28:44 UTC 
cf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/494366

Logged in as root, I run

#> sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons 1
#> sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -g /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons
true

After restarting gdm or rebooting the machine, the GDM greeter still shows the shutdown, suspend, and hibernate options and they still work.

Not sure how this relates to #599762

Make gdm respect the disable_restart_buttons gconf setting

This patch resolved the issue for me.  Feedback appreciated.
Comment 3 Brian Cameron 2010-12-03 18:15:59 UTC 
This looks correct to me and I see it is still a problem in GDM head.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-12-03 18:44:17 UTC 
I actually think this should be okay in head:

commit d8a75a806215cf95832de70da7fdb9c7592d697f

    Don't show shutdown options when not available
    
    The logic for showing the shut down menu was a little
    iffy before.  This is apparently causing issues on solaris,
    and probably elsewhere.

I don't think attachment 175790 [details] [review] is right.  Note, we need to run that code path when it's remote, too, since it's how a Disconnect item gets added.

Review of attachment 175790 [details] [review]:

marking rejected since i think the patch isn't quite right and I think the problem was already fixed.
