In GNOME/KDE/Windows, well pretty much every where else I think, upon entering the "shutdown" menu, in Xfce the "quit" thing, usually the *options* will be highlighted, so that it is quick and easy to select what you want, and then just press ENTER to execute your choice. In Xfce I have to first select my option (if it is not "Quit session" that is), and then press the OK button. I would think of it as more intuitive if focus was given to the selections initially, and that a press of ENTER would execute it. Right now (being the keyboard user I am), I first have to tab my way to the options, and then tab back to the OK button, and then pressing enter. Instead, I would like to be able to select what I want and then it's just a matter of whacking ENTER :-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Can someone confirm this "bug" or at least vote for it to be important enough to be fixed? If this was fixed, the focus should also default to the radio buttons, so that one could quickly switch to whatever the user wanted, and just press enter.
I agree that the options should have the focus initially, but it seems to me that the enter key deliberately doesn't confirm the selection, to avoid accidental activation. At any rate, setting the focus sounds pretty trivial. Someone (hint, hint) should provide a patch.

Fixed in 4.4...
