gnome 2.26 shutdown menu

two quick questions:

1) i never see the shutdown button under "System" unless i start alacarte. after i start alacarte, the menu magically has the "Shutdown" item.

2) is there any way to not wait for 60 seconds?!

thanks

Are you using gdm at all?

On my laptop, when I decided to do away with gdm, I also started to have problems with shutdown menu. Back to gdm, and shutdown is working again!

Maybe you need hal (or was it dbus). Also you need to be in power group. Maybe sth else.

is a policykit issue. you have to start gnome with ck-launch-session exec gnome-session

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
