Comment:
That would just make it very annoying to cancel the shutdown, since by the
time you manage to hit that button all other applications would already be
gone (including Tracker and Deskbar. The only benefit would be saving a
second or so in the other case. Moreover, if you continue to ask other
applications to quit, other ones may pop up alerts, so you potentially get
multiple alerts at once. Also very annoying.
We already considered asking all applications concurrently to quit in
order to make the shutdown process really fast, but dismissed the idea for
the very same reasons. What could be done is to make the process two-
phased, i.e. first ask all applications concurrently whether they need
user feedback and, if none does, afterwards just quit them concurrently.
If any does, ask them in turn to gather their user feedback.
A change like this would require changing all applications and we should
consider how that interacts with session management, respectively whether
it would still be useful with session management.
