Aaron Konstam cried out:
I know that complaining with each successive version of Fedora gets annoying. But would someone tell me why the developers insist on retains the stupidity of having to hold down the alt key to get to the power off option.
That behavior is a feature of the Gnome shell, rather than of Fedora as such. Attributing it to Fedora is equivalent to attributing the behavior of bash to Fedora.
Unless you are prepared to argue for Fedora ceasing to provide the Gnome shell as its default shell -- which cessation I think would be a very fine idea -- you are objecting in the wrong place. You need to address your otherwise legitimate complaint to the developers of the Gnome shell.
However, don't expect them to pay much attention. Shell 3.x was developed with the explicit notion that users had been doing things wrong, rather than in service to how users plainly wanted to do things.
The Gnome shell is highly configurable, and kind souls have provided configuration patches to change this particular behavior, albeit that subsequent Gnome development tends to break configuration patches.
I suggest that you investigate some of the other shells. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
