GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 561112
can't logout/shutdown with gnome-session 2.22
Last modified: 2008-11-19 22:07:16 UTC
Since gnome-session 2.24 is not ready for general consumption (see bug #552387 and to a larger extent bug #549150) we where reported that gnome-panel 2.24 can't work with gnome-session 2.22 at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246170. I wrote a big ugly patch that would probably deserve me good stabbing but it seems to solve the issue in a nice backward compatible way for our users.

This is not going to happen upstream: I have no intention of maintaining code to have gnome-panel work with old versions of gnome-session (or any other gnome module, btw). But if distributions want to ship this patch, then at least I can redirect them to your patch.
Then, maybe solution should be WONTFIX instead of FIXED ;-)
(In reply to comment #3) > Then, maybe solution should be WONTFIX instead of FIXED ;-) Hrm, that's what I wanted to do. Probably mis-selected the option. Not that it matters much anyway ;-)
