Title:
  Confirmation for logout-restart-shutdown is a loss of time for most
  users

Status in Ayatana Ubuntu Love Project:
  Invalid
Status in The Session Menu:
  Confirmed
Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the user clicks on "Logout", or "Restart" or "Shutdown", a window
  pop-ups and requires the user to confirm his action.

  I believe this window is useless, anti-productive (loss of time) for
  most users. [Workaround : Alt-F2 enter "gconf-editor", Apps>indicator-
  session, and tick suppress-logout-restart-shutdown]

  The only reason that would make me keep it is Accessibility  : some
  people can't target very sharply with the mouse (but in this case we
  should improve all other applets' accessibility...). For this reason,
  we could add a "Don't show this window any more in the future" option
  in the confirmation window, so that the user has the choice to remove
  it or not.

  If I remember well, in Karmic there was a 60s delay after which the
  confirmation was automatically activated. I don't think this was a
  good idea, for security matter, and also because Ubuntu boot is
  (/should be) now faster than 60s.

  Hope this helps making Ubuntu better.
