Description Stanislav Brabec 2005-04-04 12:28:18 UTC 
If there are one or more unfinished sessions on the machine, gnome-session
should ask for confirmation or do not offer reboot/shutdown during logout.

Thanks for your bug. I'm not sure if that's a duplicate of #172600,
gnome-session uses gdm to reboot, so maybe the only change required is on gdm
Comment 2 Lucas Rocha 2008-03-31 19:43:58 UTC 
Sebastien is right: gnome-session currently queries GDM is it's possible to reboot/shutdown when showing the logout dialogs. Hence, GDM should basically check if there are any other active session to allow or not the reboot/shutdown actions.

I think this bug is obsolete now with consolekit + polkit integration?
Comment 4 Stanislav Brabec 2011-04-05 18:49:21 UTC 
I guess that not, at least in GNOME 2.32 and openSUSE 11.4. Yesterday I unintentionally halted a machine where another user was logged on.
Comment 5 Reuben Thomas 2014-07-11 10:32:54 UTC 
I think this bug can now be closed: trying to power down from GDM while a user is logged on gives a prompt mentioning this fact.
Comment 6 Reuben Thomas 2014-07-11 10:33:17 UTC 
(In GNOME 3.10.)
Comment 7 Stanislav Brabec 2014-07-11 16:41:46 UTC 
OK.
