[Sugar-devel] [Bug 422302] Re: Soas-2-beta: drop-down menu on XO icon incomplete

[Art Hunkins]

As the reporter of the above "bug", and with regard to (1) below: I'm very 
disappointed that the Restart option has been dropped. With SoaS, I've used 
it when importing Activities (reboot is necessary to show the new Activity 
on the Activity List), and when needing to reboot into Windows (which 
happens all the time). In both cases, reboot saves considerable time over 
shutdown.

It would be helpful, I think, for feedback to be solicited on this list (and 
possibly others) before *features are removed* and not replaced by something 
comparable. Then again, perhaps this issue pertains uniquely to SoaS rather 
than Sugar generally. If so, might not the SoaS implementation of Sugar 
appropriately be unique in some respects?

With regard to (2), I wish I could test on more recent snapshots, but have 
been unable to successfully build such sticks using the Fedora 
"Stick-Builder" and SoaS3 .iso's. (Could the XO menu problem [and it is/was 
real] perhaps be related to differing monitor resolutions?)

That has actually been a design decision made by the Sugar Team for the
0.86 release, so (1) intentional.

I can't reproduce (2) here with the latest snapshots. I'm closing this
for now, please feel free to reopen it or ask on-list.

Status in Sugar on a Stick: Won't Fix

Bug description:
SoaS-2-beta: the drop-down menu for the user (XO) icon is incomplete.

1) It lacks the Restart option (I use this all the time);

2) When the icon is right-clicked, in addition, a good portion of the 
Shutdown option is obscured.
