Title:
  No complete specification for how Ubuntu sessions are supposed to work

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Ubuntu has no complete specification for the appearance and behavior
  of startup, login, locking, unlocking, suspending, hibernating,
  resuming, restarting, and shutting down.

  Without a specification, any request for a design change is unlikely
  to take into account consistency with, or constraints imposed by, the
  rest of the session system.

  For example:
  - How should you be discouraged from, or warned about, losing data when logging out of a guest session?
  - What should "Restart" or "Shut Down" do if other user accounts are logged in? (bug 855556)
  - What should happen if you try to choose "Restart" while the "Log Out" dialog is open?
  - How should the lock screen command and option be presented for a user account that logs in automatically?

  This bug will be fixed when the desired behavior for all UI-related
  bug reports in <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
  session> is either obvious, or specified in
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SessionHandling>.
