Description Daryll Strauss 2002-12-18 19:51:39 UTC
Package: Evolution
Priority: Wishlist
Version: 1.2
Synopsis: Evolution should prompt before quitting
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Miscellaneous

Description:
Description of Problem: It is too easy to shut down evolution
accidentally by hitting ctrl-w or ctrl-q.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  hit ctrl-w while in the main window
2. 
3. 

Actual Results: Application shuts down


Expected Results: Since evolution really expects to be running all the
time to handle such things as calndar events, it would be nice if it
prompted the user before shutting down on one of these key strokes. 


How often does this happen? With my background with emacs, way too
often. ctrl-w is cut.


Additional Information: Generally I don't like extra confirmation boxes,
but shutting down an application that is intended to run forever is one
of those exceptions where it seems to make sense.
