[Bug 876290] Re: Ctrl+Alt+Del mapped to log out dialogue

 

This may not be so much a shortcut bug, as a bug between the development of the log out/shutdown script.
If you go to your menu click more apps, filter to system apps, and look through your list of installed apps you will find that log out and shut down are two different applications(well the way they treat them at least). They can not be one dialog. But now that you do mention it, it is weird that they would create this application in this way.

A quick fix for you, would be to go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts
then make a new shortcut called shutdown
and in the line asking for the command enter "/usr/lib/indicator-session/gtk-logout-helper -s"
without the quotes, then set your shortcut to what ever you desire
hope this helps for now

Title:
  Ctrl+Alt+Del mapped to log out dialogue

Status in The Session Menu:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric stable

  Ctrl+Alt+Del used to be the keymapping for offering Shutdown, Restart,
  Sleep, Hibernate, etc, with the focus on Shutdown. Ergo, it was a
  quick way of shutting down the computer via keyboard. In Oneiric, this
  has been remapped to throwing up the Log Out dialogue. This leaves no
  easy way to shut down the computer using the keyboard. Even Alt+F4,
  which is used to shut down applications (presumably for the comfort of
  users migrating from Windows), does not throw up the Shut Down
  dialogue.

  A mouse should not be necessary to shut down the computer (and running
  a search in Dash is just illogical).
