Description

We need to add our quick shutdown applet (the red button on the far right of the top GNOME panel, in Tails 0.x) back.

That probably means adapting our applet to work with GNOME Panel 3.4.

Additional information:

  • The current applet lives in config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/bin/shutdown_helper_applet.
  • The applet is not available in the Add to Panel menu on Wheezy.
  • TailsClock might be a good example as it provides an applet that runs both on GNOME2 and GNOME3.

The code should be based off the feature/wheezy branch.

A first step is probably to adapt the applet so that one can manually add it to the panel
Then, one should register the applet somehow, to have it shown by default (probably related to Feature #6381).

The applet could now be added to the panel in wheezy, but its menu currently fails to display correctly.

Next steps include:

- fix the applet menu bug;

- test in a fresh build (was only tested by live patching a running Tails);
- have the applet automatically inculded in the panel.

The applet menu bug should be fixed and the applet should replace the User Menu in the panel.

This should be tested in a fresh build.
