a very handy way<br>
to get out of dead-ends caused by starting too many activities.<br>
<br>
What I would like to do is have this signal show a screen similar to the<br>
switch desktop screen but with<br>
a set of options:<br>
<br>
Start Sugar<br>
Start Gnome<br>
Login<br>
<br>
where the login option allows the user to set the nick to his/her username.<br>
The advantage of this is that<br>
the nick is reset at Sugar start. This option is needed at sites where more<br>
than one person uses the laptop (even in OLPC sites, it can be expected that<br>
more than one person will use the laptop when it is at home).<br>
<br>
Does anyone know why this capability was dropped? Is there any technical<br>
reason it can not be restored? How does one set the ctl+alt+bs to call a<br>
procedure in globalkeys (similar to viewsource and screenshot)? Is that the<br>
way this should be done?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
