[Bug 315865] Re: kde4 shutdown "abort active sessions" prompt only appears after logging out your current session

[Alan Jenkins]

Console sessions are a bit of a red herring.  I first saw this feature
when using user switching.  I've seen Vista do something similar (don't
ask me the details).

You're right, KDE3 does exactly the same thing.  So this is a feature
request, not a regression, sorry about that.

Here's one point:  It takes several seconds to log out.  This is
especially true when running Thunderbird, which takes a few seconds to
shut down itself.   I think it probably suffers from using fsync() on
ext3.

So if you click "turn off", you may wait long enough to see any "unsaved
changes" dialogues, but not long enough to see the "other open sessions"
dialogue.  You could walk away and unintentionally leave your computer
in limbo.  It would be more user friendly if all obstacles to turning
off could be presented at the same time.
