           Summary: There's a variable number of shutdown confirmation
                    screens
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: exabyte at 3mhz.net


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

(When using KDE and KDM.)

When you try to shutdown the system, there's a variable number of confirmation
screens depending on the number of things you need to confirm. For example, if
there are other users logged in to the system, you're warned about it in a
separate dialog box. What's more, that dialog doesn't appear immediately, but
you have to wait for a while.

I realize this might be difficult to fix, because the two confirmation screens
are probably displayed by completely different components, but a decent
shutdown interface would display any issues with the shutdown on the original
one. It's quite frustrating to go to shutdown the PC only to find it still
running on the next day, or to take your laptop out of the bag and find it on
and extremely hot or with an empty battery.


In effect, the normal KDE shutdown procedure is way more complicated than using
a terminal, sudo/su and halt/shutdown!

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login with ssh and screen
2. shutdown
3. ???
4. lose all your money

Actual Results:  
smurfs

Expected Results:  
ponies
