Summary: "suspend to xxx" should have real buttons within
"leave window"
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: edgue at web.de
Version: (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
When using the "leave" menu option or the "logout" widget, KDE presents a
window with three choices: logout, "turn off" and "restart".
On top of the "turn off" button one can find a small pull-down triangle that
can be used to NOT turn off the computer but to suspend to ram/disk.
It happened several times to me, that I missed to "pull down" the right way.
So instead of suspend-to-ram I selected "turn off".
But these are two really different actions with really different consequences!
They SHOULD NOT be "that close" UI wise.
Sometimes people act in a hurry - a user interface should be forgiving ... and
not using a "worst case" choice as default.
You see, when I want to "suspend to ram" i have many programs running. I really
dont want to shutdown!
xfce and gnome provide different buttons for these actions. You say "quit" and
you have a set of buttons that are clearly seperated. Why is KDE different
here?
A minimum requirement would be to have this CONFIGURABLE!
