[Bug 1033226] Re: No close option, only restart

[Stefan Beller]

It's not just the bare operating system, but also a bunch of user programs.
I tend to have many programs opened at once, such as different editors for different tasks (programming in different languages requires different editors ;) or media players or chat windows.

So the restarting itself (of the OS) only takes a minute, but then
starting all the user programs may take a while as well.

Some user programs cannot recreate the same state they are in, i.e.
thunderbird starts with all tabs closed. I tend to use open thunderbird
tabs as reminders for answering mail, hence a restart needs my attention
in remembering what to open after the restart again.

This is why I am in strong favor of an 'Ok, I know my risk, but don't
force me to restart, please!' button.
