Hi,

if, while shutting down, there are unresponsive applications,
gnome-session will endlessly wait for confirmation to shut down. This
has led my laptop a few times already to keep running and then overheat
in the backpack, or completely empty the batters.

It would be much saner if the dialog would timeout after 60 seconds,
defaulting to do what the user wanted in the first place.

Slightly related upstream bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593972

I’d cook up a patch if this behaviour is wanted by upstream or the
Debian maintainers.

Greetings,
Joachim
