Since we have a unified screen for logging out and shutting down, the hint is always shown as the user could click on "Logout" but then shut down anyway.

- R120:dd149d62b61c: Warn on logout screen when another user is logged in
Should we show the name(s) of the other user(s), with avatar? But that could easily clutter up the view? It's quite an edge-case anyway.

Big +1 for the concept. Only one string change proposal, down below:
lookandfeel/contents/logout/Logout.qml | ||
---|---|---|
147 | How about also adding something that reinforces why there's a risk. How about this: "One other user is currently logged in. If the computer shut down or rebooted, that user may lose work." |
Not sure. Does it recycle them or discard them after a while? They keep piling up usually ..
to expand on the concept, maybe could be nice as well a kauthorized key to actually letting only logout when there is somebody else logged in
That would be appropriate for non-admin users, but I feel fairly strongly that admin users should always be able to shut down and reboot the computer when other users are logged in. They're admins, after all, and should presumably know best.
This makes good sense in that admin world, more business style. I think they would appreciate it. I would probably look for a string that is a little shorter.
