Description Gregor Mi 2017-12-01 12:00:39 UTC

Currently, the context menu of the clock widget shows these entries:

* Adjust Data and Time...
* Set Time Format...
* Digital Clock Settings...
* Unlock widgets

It would be nice to have a new submenu called "Related Tasks" and there an item called "Timed Shutdown with KShutdown". This would open KShutdown and give the user easy access and discoverability of the possibility to set a timeout before the system shuts down.

When KShutdown is installed it appears in the system tray, left-clicking it opens up KShutdown and right-clicking it brings a menu, would this make sense for your workflow?

Hi Felipe,
thanks for the hint. The main point about my request was discoverability. So, since I already know KShutdown I can even find it with KRunner. 

I reconsidered my original request. Maybe the clock is not the best place but in the "Leave" panel from Kicker/Kicker next to the "Shutdown" item. Anyway, the use case is probably very rare, so I close this ticket.
