computer->logout box doesn't remember last chosen action

Bug Description

If I logout, I mostly want to shut down the computer.
Therefore I don't want to to do an extra click: It would be nice, if the dialog
box rememered which action I chose last time.

usually people save a standard session and use it then. If you want to save
your session every time you log out you have an options for this in the session
tools in the preferences of the GNOME menu. I'm closing it as WONTFIX, the current
behaviour is the expected one.

Agreed.

> If you want to save your session every time you log out

That's not what I meant.

If I logout, the radiobutton is on "Logout".
If I choose "shut down", the PC shuts down.
I turn on the PC again.
I log in.
I work.
I logout, the radiobuttion is on "Logout".
But last time, I chose "shut down".
I want GNOME to remember my last choice.

(And I don't want GNOME to save my session :))

Is that possible?

(Reopening, since I think, your solution doesn't fix my problem O:))

ok, I didn't understand it correctly the first time. Would be nice to get, but
that's
not a top priority
