I know that complaining with each successive version of Fedora gets annoying. But would someone tell me why the developers insist on retains the stupidity of having to hold down the alt key to get to the power off option.
It is certainly a stupid feature and it continues on with its stupidity. Ok, now I can relax until the same feature appears in F18.

This can be resolved w/ this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5/alternative-status-menu/
I use quite a few of the "Frippery" extensions.

You do realise you can install the extension to add it right now? That said I'm glad they've finally seen sense on one issue.

Pick one of four ways to fix that:
yum install gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu
or
yum groupinstall xfce
or
yum groupinstall lxde
or
yum groupinstall kde

Just installed Fedora 17 on VM in VirtualBox and can't undersand what stupidity you are talking about. I don't need to hold down alt key. Just click on the user name in right top corner and then click on "Power Off..." on the botton of the menu.

On Xfce, I just click "shut down" button.

That's because VirtualBox's "BIOS" does not support suspending. In that case, gnome shell defaults to power off. But on real boxes which support suspend (or at least claim to support it), suspend is the default and you need to hold "Alt" to power off.

Thanks for informing me of a return to more sanity on the part of Gnome developers

That makes three obscure extensions you need to install to bring "sanity" to Gnome.

I'll request you to please quit ranting. It isn't constructive in the least. This isn't the place for it: your personal blog is. It's F/LOSS. If you don't like it, do something to change it: fork gnome3 if you want? Here, all you need to do is install an extension. It really isn't too much to ask :)

Just curious, before I try this... what else does this change, besides the power off option (if anything).
Thanks, FC

Hi Fernando,
Please take a look at this page[1]. It has the info about the extension, including a screenshot.
