Comment 15 for bug 268734

Any chance of pushing an official fix now? This issue looks pretty minor at first, but considering the fact that it causes actual data loss due to the system shutting down without any confirmation, I believe that this should be considered of high importance. I've actually been hit by this bug at least twice already (yeah, and I lost unsaved work!) before I decided to dig into it.

I don't understand why this kind of bug, which involves a simple case "porting" a short shell script from KDE3 to KDE4, takes such a long time to fix. Or is it because only KDE is affected by this bug and not Ubuntu's default, GNOME?
