Re: [Evolution] Mismatch between subject and message contents



Depends what you mean by "shut down". The shutdown utility on Linux
sends a signal which processes can trap and gives them a little time to
clean up. Only then does it kill them preemptively. A properly-written
application should never get into an inconsistent state because of the
system being shut down, and in fact I haven't seen Evo misbehaving in
this way.

A different issue is what happens if you lose power or just close the
laptop lid without warning. Not all Linux distros handle
suspend-and-resume gracefully.

Why can't Linux handle this gracefully like Windows?  On that OS when I
shut down all the apps are closed in an orderly fashion, with an
opportunity to save any unsaved work, etc.  On Linux it seems to just
blithely kill everything.
