Comment (by kaduk):
Replying to [comment:2 jdreed]:
> I'm almost tempted to just go ahead and make the logout alias run
/usr/lib/indicator-session/gtk-logout-helper and be done, and that will
attempt to do a logout or reboot via DBus. Is there a good reason not to?
Failing that, I think a small script that checks for
/var/run/reboot_required, and pops up a zenity dialog asking people to
reboot instead (with a timeout to just log out).
I'm somehow not very excited by the prospect of running gtk-logout-helper
... maybe because DBus already gives us too much excitement as is?
