Forgive me, I thought from the subject that Soas is a livecd based image
that can be installed build with livecd-creator, using what is more or
less the same backend that olpc-os-builder uses. The builds are driven
via kickstart files, with some commands structures shared between the
two images [1][2] in respect to gconftool-2. While show_logout and
show_restart keys were configurable before the latest patch[3] extends
that to shutdown now. While you say those are completely unrelated how
can that be when the new default in the schema is true, just wondering
how sugar-runner will deal with the new default going forward, really
didn't change the behaviour just made it optional. My concern is maybe
that default needs to be false for sugar-runner leaving others having to
account for the change, that is all. It doesn't really matter to me
either way as long as the key becomes set should we need to set it in
the future.
