Rework Shutdown

[alphamodh0]

Why put in the System Menu the options: Shut Down, Restart and Log Out if all the options will appear again?

It seems to me that it should be possible to do without confirmation, or to put a single option called "Session", because all three options do the same. System Menu: Response of three options:

Also, maybe instead of using a separate Shutdown application we should probably do this inside Menu. (But then, how would we bring up the dialog if it is triggered not by the Menu but e.g., by the power button? Maybe a separate application is not the worst idea after all.)

Maybe we can use the off dialogue only when the button is pressed.

We also need to ask the user for confirmation when one of the menu items were chosen. Otherwise it would log out without giving the user a chance to rethink this potentially dangerous action, as all changes to unsaved documents will be lost.

Then we must implement the system that have "Guindows" and "MakOS" where they warn if the user has not saved a document or is executing a task that can be destroyed by the restart.

I don't know how to implement this.

Have one menu item saying 'leave' or something?

Oh, that, might have to dig into the kde code

Should be there. 👍🏼.

Not sure I'd even want that:

• The code is would become more complex and all applications (including those running via the Linuxulator) would need to support that protocol (probably via D-Bus, which the Linuxulator currently does not support)
• It makes it harder to "just shut down now" without further questions asked

afaik it sends a close button signal and checks which windows are still open

I think Apple split them up to let users know clearly that they know that they are doing hemp. Think about it, when there are other users logged in, you need to log out of the current user, the button to log out Next to it is to restart or shut down. If you happen to sneeze and press to restart or shut down, then the other users will lose all the data (if it is hard work and has not been saved, then worse).

@probonopd How about pretending to delete it and modify it like this.

[louies0623]

If the bottom three options lead to the same window, then merge it and change it to "Leave"

Works as designed, to make it easier for switchers from the Mac.

Maybe I used a proprietary screen, it doesn't matter there are open source ones here.
