This countdown timer serves no useful purpose for me, since I'm the only user of my machine. How can I turn it off so my logout completes more quickly?

Hi Lisi!
I don't know how to change the timer, but you could assign "poweroff" as the default logout option and disable the logout dialog. At least that's what I did, now when I select "Logout" from TDE Menu, my machine powers off.

You can eliminate the timer by deselecting confirm logout in session manager.

I cannot remember/find anything with a timer. The attached image settings turns my PC off when I click Log Out. With Confirm Logout selected I also have to hit enter (or click an option), but no timer.

In your image you have selected turn off computer. Change it to end current session. Then with the already deselected confirm logout you'll have your session quickly ended without any substantial delay.

Changing it would be pointless, it does what I want with no delay or timer - even when Confirm Logout selected.

What was the point of your post? You have working what you want, which is not what the OP was asking for. OP expressly asked for logout without timer delay, not turn off computer without delay.

We have different perspectives and made different assumptions. What the OP wanted to happen after logging out was not specified, just that there be no timer. My apologies for the wording of my reply.

...None of the TDM Session Manager options invoke a logout countdown timer. I'm wondering if the OP is using a different display manager, e.g. KDM which has such a timer.

Here is one possibility - if the user instead of the classic Trinity menu uses Kickoff menu, there is a countdown at logout / reboot / shutdown.
To my knowledge, to set delay for logout / reboot / shutdown there are no items in the UI. It is necessary to make an entry in the configuration file kdeglobals, section General, variables confirmLogoutDelay, confirmRebootDelay and confirmShutdownDelay.
Cheers

Sounds like a pretty good possibility to me.

...Was SUSE unique in having those variables preset in ksmserverrc?

Perhaps that is the case. I have attached an image of the window in question. This did not appear when I was using OpenSuSE's KDE3 package.

This question was discussed sometime ago. This is not a time out but the fact that tde/kde3 stores the state of the applications you are running when you exit the session. I don't think KDE3 did it differently. The notification window was just not there AFAIR. @home I have /home on nfs - it takes longer compared to when /home is on local drive.
If you are the only user of the notebook and you don't have to change profiles (like I do), you could use hibernation. You even do not have to reopen applications or log in.
To the original subject I have the impression that kmix takes too long (like few seconds), but I never had time to look into what it does on shutdown.
anyway thanks for the screenshot, because there was speculation what you originally mean.
regards

Right, not a timeout. I didn't say that.

That's right. How can I get rid of it when using TDE?

Image I already posted, deselect show dialog.

Yes, you have already posted, but it isn't relevant to this:
http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::11142
I have tried what you suggest before posting this comment,, since it seemed unlikely that what you suggested would affect the thing that is not a timer, but a "progress bar" of TDE saving the session.
This does not arise if you don't save the session, which you don't.
All your suggestion appears to have done is make the session save less accurately - but I haven't tested that by rebooting normally again.
KDE did not tell you what it was doing when it was saving the session, just took ages. TDE tells you where it has got to. It is a "progress bar" not a timer.

Have just retried. It made no difference at all. I just mis-remembered!!

I only see a countdown timer once in a while when some program refuses to close. Is that what you're talking about? If so, best solution would probably be to identify the offending program and shut it down first.

That would work, but then when I restart my machine, none of my apps will restart. In my experience, the only apps that hang up the shutdown process are those that the DE is not aware of, e.g. X applications.

If there's a particular thing it always hangs on, I guess I'd be trying to figure out why. You can always force the shutdown, but of course there may be a risk of data loss.
Or you could go to a root shell and type 'init 0', and see if that's faster.

Okay; but you're on a path now to solve a problem that I don't have. :-)
