Do you mean that you press the button, it hilites, but then nothing else happens, so you press it again, it hilites, and the system shuts down? Or do you mean that you press the button, nothing happens, you close the dialog, choose the menu command again, press the button, and the system shuts down? I ask because if I have the mouse over a button at the wrong time it won't actually activate when pressed until I move the mouse off it and back on, so I'm asking for more precision here. For that matter, what happens if you issue (as root) "shutdown -h now"? Does that sometime not do anything? Probably it always works, but it would be nice to know in order to isolate the problem (if it isn't the button itself). Occasionally I and I think others get hung up on a dialog about saving work, but that dialog is hidden behind another window. For me, the taskbar button is then throbbing, so I know something is happening, but the computer doesn't shut down. Probably this is not what you're seeing. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
