#2151 closed enhancement (fixed)

Shutdown and Logout menu items should activate the busy cursor (or provide some other visual feedback)

Description (last modified by garycmartin)

Shutdown (and Logout) menu items should activate the busy cursor (or provide some other visual feedback, perhaps dimming/locking the UI from use). If you trigger these menu items with a number of activities resumed there can be a very long wait before anything visually happens, the user may well start to do other things, or hard power off. With 9 activities open on an XO-1, the time between selecting Shutdown from the central XO home icon and the display visual changing, was between 40sec and 70sec

Anurag, since we had posted the patch to sugar-devel. So r? not required in this case. r? required when we upload the patch at bug tracker.

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 ).

There are no privileges involved on this at all, see the mailing list thread for more information.
