Title:
  user must find windows that block shutdown

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  
  1. configure your environment to use 10 desktops (the number is not really important, but I use 10)
  2. on each desktop, open some application windows (Eclipse, web browsers, terminal, android's abd logcat, mc, etc)
  3. spend some time working; when you see a text that looks important, open a gedit window and copy the important text there.
  4. select shutdown in Gnome

  Actual: shutdown is blocked; you can cancel it but to review the
  unsaved documents you have to locate them yourself, looking through
  all your desktops and all your windows

  Expected: shutdown is blocked, but you can review all unsaved
  documents without cancelling the shutdown; there's a "magic button"
  that causes the next unsaved document to appear on the _current_
  desktop _on_top_ of other windows so that you can read it and decide
  what to do with it.

  PS I hate such shutdowns, but some updates require it, and the
  software (including Eclipse) sometimes glitches, making me suspect a
  global resource leak.
