I am slightly worried about the submenues hidden behind icons in the mockup images posted here. Clicking back and forth between menues takes time is quite frustrating. There is almost no visibility, and the user must keep track of many more states he/she may be in himself/herself.

Just so we do not create a user-design mess like the new installer in Fedora 18/19 :)

Also, renaming “Options” to “Advanced options” may be preferrable, so a first-time user know that he/she does not have to worry about them. If a new user is presented with too many options, they tend to give up and leave before even trying (from what I have seen IRL).

This task is blocking not only the offline mode, but also any other option we might want to add in the Greeter. So, IMO the right relationship is really “blocks” (since Feature #5464 can block N>1 tickets) rather than “subtask of Feature #6811” (since Feature #5464 can only have one parent ticket). That’s why I have reverted this ticket’s relationships to its previous state.
