Hi,
I'm new here so sorry if I bother with some old request:
is there any plan to add some system-hibernate, system-suspend and maybe
a system-switch-user action icons?

Regards,
Andrea

- system-suspend
- system-suspend-hibernate
- system-switch-user
Thanks for the quick reply.
I meant as global standard, not DE specific, maybe I miss some rationale
about global naming and DE specific?

Andrea

No, I'm just providing a data point. It's useful when specs
reflect what's already being used.

+1 for adding it to the specs! Unfortunately, since GNOME doesn't have
icons for this, I don't expect them to be interested in it. But it
would be nice to know what Xfce does - right now, I assume it uses the
same names as KDE, so making it part of the spec would be helpful for
some desktops.
Cheers,
Matthias

I'm using xfce 4.10, it seems to support system-suspend and
system-hibernate (not system-suspend-hibernate as kde) actions, IDK
about the user switch one, just mentioned because some DE could use it.
About gnome I saw some gnome-session-XYZ files in apps dir instead.

Is there a common or well-known icon metaphor for Suspend, Hibernate, or
Switch User? Both Windows 7 and OS X seem to use text labels from what I've
seen.

What I had in mind was about to define a global standard before any DE
can use it or not, since it's a reality that, in this case, a computer
has hibernate and suspend capacities.

Another question I needed to do about places:
I see that file managers like thunar, pcmanfm and nautilus use to list
folders defined in .config/user-dirs.dirs like music, images and so on
with custom icons, so what about them?

Andrea

In fvwm-crystal, I added localized support for them as 2 pictures icons
on the desktop. Dual png icons are not well supported in Linux, only
the first pic will be shown in a very few pic viewers, but with fvwm,
a lot of things are possible.

When clicking on them, it will launch any file manager according to
some preference settings (even console apps like mc and custom commands
are supported). It is also possible to show the externally mounted
drives/partitions, and to show/hyde them on thy fly from the main menu.

Best,
Dominique

KDE currently ships:
- system-suspend
- system-suspend-hibernate
- system-switch-user
