[Bug 1156566] Re: "Restart" is missing from the system menu

 

What always blocked me to do this in unity (as I never found the time to
fix things in gnome upstream), is the missing support for a "Reboot"
method call in gnome session dbus api that would generate a
org.gnome.SessionManager.EndSessionDialog.Open signal with an ID for
such kinds of dialogs... :/

As currently it just return the same ID that we have for shutdown...
This thing would make has harder (for example) to select the default
action for easier key-activation.

Title:
  "Restart" is missing from the system menu

Status in The Session Menu:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Problem occurs in: indicator-session 12.10.5daily13.03.08-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu R
  Does not occur in: Ubuntu 12.10

  1. Open the system menu.

  What you see: "Log Out...", "Suspend", and "Shut Down..." items.

  What you should see: A "Restart..." item between "Suspend" and "Shut Down...".

  This is a regression of bug 815077. In 2011 we thought it might be a
  good idea to demote "Restart" to an extra button in the "Shut Down"
  dialog, but we were wrong. So we moved it back to a top-level item in
  the system menu.
