Description
Kees-Jan Dijkzeul  Apr 25 2003 08:01:18 UTC
When the daily limit window appears, telling me to stop working, I typically
want to shut down my computer before doing that. However, this is next to
impossible without postponing or skipping the daily limit.

I propose to equip the daily limit window with a shutdown/logout button

Similar reasoning holds for the restbreak window. My working day typically ends
(when I don't reach daily limit) at the first restbreak after 17.00. In this
case, I don't want to wait until my break is over before shutting down, nor do I
want to ignore my break.

I assume ctrl-alt-still works when workrave blocked the keyboard? If so, you can
shutdown the computer.

Probably, but still, a shutdown button on the daily limit window but be nice...

On Windows, daily limit now offers a shutdown button.

TODO: Linux implementation, shutdown button icon, update translations.

Icon & translations are in.

I am not sure how to implement this on Linux. Is there a command to popup the
Gnome/KDE logout dialog? I'll have to dig some sources ...

In GNOME 2.x the command for bringing up the logout prompt is

gnome-session-save --kill

But anyway, this is not sufficient, I'd say. You typically want to safe you
work, close all apps etc. before shutting down your box.

After almost 5 years.... added "gnome-session-save --kill". Shutdown is now also possible on gnome.
