runDialog: Disable restart command on wayland (1.13 KB, patch)
2015-02-27 18:45 UTC, Florian Müllner 		committed Details | Review

Description Martin Meyer 2014-12-17 17:17:56 UTC 
I'm trying out the GNOME Wayland session in Fedora 21 today. It looks like restarting gnome-shell (via ALT-F2 then "r" then enter) makes all my windows go away and never return. It seems to be restarting the whole session.

I also not able to open any windows after the restart, so I couldn't see if the various processes were still running or if they had been terminated.

My current package is reported as gnome-shell-3.14.2-1.fc21.x86_64.

Yep, that's correct.

Yes that's the same as restarting the X server when running under X. All clients die.

runDialog: Disable restart command on wayland

Clients can be expected to deal with the WM going away temporarily,
but not the display server - so when running as wayland compositor,
a restart is generally a fancy way of killing the user session, and
there's little we can do about it except for preventing the user to
shoot herself in the foot by throwing an error.

Makes sense. Its the same as "Ctrl-alt-backspace" which we do not enable by default either,
