That may help. I guess we may have to decide whether the benefits of removing "shutdown" from the System menu [*] are worth making it more difficult for non-expert users to do any kind of shutdown or reboot. [*] To me this is a usability issue -- it's very easy to inadvertently shut the machine down when you meant to just log out. I guess the people who designed things, though, didn't think of that, and were thinking more about how to completely disallow shutdown / reboot via a GUI. -- blm -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
