(Get the code!)
There may be a consistency issue here:
- the System menu offers 2 options to either "Logout" or "Shutdown"; the 2 options are protected by a confirmation dialog
- the FUSA menu offers 5 options, including the two "Logout" and "Shutdown"; none of these options are protected by a confirmation dialog
It means that a user who exits his session from the System menu gets used to having to confirm, while he will be rather surprised when he does the same using the FUSA menu.
Changing the behaviour of the System menu is not a good idea at that stage in the release. So we have to deal with 2 exit paths.
I think we should just update the FUSA interface to mirror the entries present in the System menu and adopt exactly the same behaviour. Whatever we can think of dubious and cluttered exit dialogs, that would be the least surprising interface for the user.
