It's either an update (and I don't remember one in the last 24 hours) or a config change somewhere. SystemSettings still says that Everybody can shut down. Of course it's possible that something is hanging and that it's waiting for a timeout. I left it a few minutes, but not for an hour or more. But if it were that, would clicking on the desktop bring it back to life? Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
