Currently you have to right-click, select action, and confirm. Why not just left-click and select (like with gnome-power-manager)?
Comment 1 Ali Abdallah editbugs 2009-08-24 08:46:39 CEST
The confirm dialog is to avoid accidentally activated suspend/hibernate actions on which are broken on some laptops.

For the left-click, we agreed on going the same way as many applications in defining this action as opening the settings dialog, it is in 0.8.*.
Comment 2 Jarno Suni 2009-08-24 09:23:29 CEST
IMHO It is hard to suspend/hibernate accidentally by the tray icon when using gnome-power-manager. Not all laptops have problem with suspend/hibernate so there is no point in making things more hard by the confirm dialog always on each machine.

Yes i agree, but this is possible.

I really don't see the point here (being complicated), you have the keyboard keys which can be configured to trigger suspend/hibernate actions, without having to confirm.

I am not aware of gnome-power-cmd equivalent for xfce4-power-manager.
