Re: Shutdown and reboot commands not working

[Adam P. <co...@bb...>]

I have suspicion about that this is some problem of RH8. I noticed that in 
this version of RH you have to first quit WM (KDE or GNOME by default) and 
then 
you have to choose Shutdown from >System menu. Therefore I think this is 
somehow set by RH, and IceWM can not change this behaviour. Or is this 
not working only in 1.26 bu in earlier it does? If so then please fill bug 
report.
