Comment(by anurag_seeta):

 The bug #2151 requires us to place any form of visual notification upon
 the start of code execution of the shutdown procedure so as to confirm of
 the start of the process. One of the suggested fixes being , to change the
 cursor to busy cursor and for that to happen we must change the behavior
 of the cursor to that of the busy cursor just after the call of the
 shutdown procedure function , so from online research and discussion at
 community at IRC channels I reached to the code snip
 "self.window.set_cursor( gtk.gdk.Cursor(gtk.gdk.WATCH) )"  {Link:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_almanac}  for which i made and applied a
 patch , but the patch failed to work on Sugar jh-build and the current
 situation of the debugging of this bug states that the the code change
 line (quoted above) cannot bring about the required and expected change as
 it must apply the cursor change code at a higer level of access, (i.e.
 may be it requires some special privileges enabled to make the change
 allowable and reflectable ).
