GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 698609
Confirm close
Last modified: 2013-05-09 19:33:05 UTC
In first login mode perhaps we should prompt users with a confirmation of closure. Adding a "Do you really want to quit" also allows us to have the option of allowing the user to accept all the defaults and quit.
When would this happen? There's no way to close the window before the reaching the summary page currently.
In the overview mode you can close it. When in user mode.
I had imagined that the experience would be the same in first login or first boot - you're not in the user session proper until you've finished account setup. CC'ing Jon and Jakub to confirm.

There's two modes: first boot mode to set up a new user account, and existing user mode for when an admin adds an account that they need to setup. I think gnome-shell should hide the close button if we don't have the WM_DELETE feature on the window.
I'm not sure I understand. Even if I have an account already created, say if we run the initial setup after a system upgrade, I expect the user experience to be the same as if I am creating an account for the first time. Specifically, that the tool runs in a special mode without the overview and multi-tasking.

Having it run in a special mode seems a bit over the top in the first login case. The number of times you'll want to modify it away from the current or system settings seems very minimal.
Doing a special shell mode for first-login will be hard. Or at least, it is not something we have any infrastructure - we would have to change the shell mode in the middle of a running session.

We could log into the user's session in initial-setup mode, and then relogin into a regular session once done, but that would mean the user would have to re-enter their password.

Then that means you can't close it from the overview. Case closed :)

this was a misunderstanding, clarified in person. I was talking about the close button in the titlebar, not the overlayed one in the overview.
So what's the best way forward to resolve this bug? Fix it in G-S?
Yeah, I think gnome-shell should respect WM_DELETE_FUNC. I'll file a patch set in Bugzilla.
Let's mark this as dupe of the shell bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 699269 ***
