Comment 5 for bug 174002

Michael,

How do you define which is the "safe" course of action here - is it safer to immediately reload gdm, or to leave it up to the user to reboot and possibly have graphical logins stop working until that happens?

Did the dapper gdm allow all users to reboot the system from the login screen, by default? Did it support the option in its init script to reload its config after logout when sent SIGUSR1?
