I've understand it, "leave" with his icon should behave the same on both kickoff and right mouse button, or am I wrong?

So do you mean that it is better to change the name to "lock/leave"?
... well, maybe the name could be "improved" when the widget itself will be improved (about adding options ecc). But it will be done after 4.1, so I've suggested to "fix" temporary it :-)

Right, I can agree this, but about the label "leave" on the rmb for example, it is write "leave", but the action called is logout (with the confirmation dialog off).

I've wanted to put all this issues on the same report for watching them togheter. The idea was to save some time for avoid to look on a lot of old reports :-(

Anyway thanks for your clear answer :-)

bye!
