           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!
