Re: [trinity-devel] Shutdown Dialog Restart Options

I'm trying to envision when I or others might want those options to appear and what value they add. First, I don't think equivalent options with LILO are possible because LILO needs to be "rebuilt" after editing the lilo.conf file. Normal users can't do that on-the-fly. Similarly, editing the GRUB menu.lst file on-the-fly is impossible too. The only time those options could actually have effect is when the user is logged in and using TDE as root. Using TDE as root does not bother me although I know some people have heart attacks and start frothing with such topics. Regardless, the point here is I don't see when those options become useful in the TDE shutdown dialog. As mentioned, what is so challenging as to wait until the GRUB menu appears and then selecting the desired option? Further, when the default option needs to be changed, then somebody with admin privileges can login and edit the menu.lst file. I have both options in my menu.lst file so I can test both command line and graphical logins. I am struggling to see why those options are in the shutdown dialog when they can't be changed anyway by normal users.
