Bug Description
Ubuntu has no complete specification for the appearance and behavior of startup, login, locking, unlocking, suspending, hibernating, resuming, restarting, and shutting down.
Without a specification, any request for a design change is unlikely to take into account consistency with, or constraints imposed by, the rest of the session system.
For example:
- How should you be discouraged from, or warned about, losing data when logging out of a guest session?
- What should "Restart" or "Shut Down" do if other user accounts are logged in? (bug 855556)
- What should happen if you try to choose "Restart" while the "Log Out" dialog is open?
- How should the lock screen command and option be presented for a user account that logs in automatically?
This bug will be fixed when the desired behavior for all UI-related bug reports in <https:/
