Could anybody explain it, why GNOME folks decided to hide the Shutdown
and especially Restart buttons/options from a user so well? Is it
especially dangerous to use them nowadays? Or GNOME folks assume people
do not shutdown/restart their computers anymore?
This "feature" could drive crazy any user new to GNOME 3.0. I tried it
from the LiveCD first and get caught like a mouse in a trap. Good for me
I had Internet connection and found on google, ALT button changes Suspend
to Shutdown. At least I had this option.
But again, since I was running it from the LiveCD I needed Restart
instead. You see, Fedora boot loader was picking up and locking DVD
drive after restarting system so fast, it was "mission impossible" to
open a tray and to remove the CD. Since I could not figure out how to
restart the system, I had to shut it down, then reached BIOS, disabled CD
boot and only then I was able to remove that damn CD from a tray.
"Revolution" indeed.
