User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070225 BonEcho/2.0.0.2 Build Identifier: When you open the actionbuttons menu, you get this pane with 3 options: "logout", "restart" and "shutdown". I think it should be configurable which of these buttons should be shown and which not. For example sometimes i install a system for non-tech people who just want to start and stop their computer, when they logout they end up at the console, whose workings they don't want to learn. (can't blame them). a solution would be to immediatly startxfce again when they logout, but i find that an ugly hack. I think a settings panel somewhere where you have checkboxes for which buttons to show and which not would be very handy. Reproducible: Always
It might be worthwhile to look at Ubuntu's (possibly inherited from Debian) package for xfce4-session. They added the options to suspend and hibernate, and added checkboxes to disable those, among other changes.
Why not create a launcher...
You can still define 2 actions max in the 4.8 panel, but choose which ones.
It'd also be helpful if actions that couldn't be performed due to PolicyKit restrictions or lack of hardware support (think: shutdown/reboot for pk, suspend/resume for both hardware limits and pk). Currently such options are shown even when clicking on them will only produce an error from HAL because an action isn't supported or is blocked by PolicyKit.
Devel branch has been merged in master. A 4.7.0 release will follow soon. If you think this bug is not fixed? Feel free to reopen the bug.
