gnome-session-quit time

Hello Everyone,
I'm new here, it's my first post, so please excuse if I don't your internal
netiquette. To be honest, I don't even know if I'm in the right place, but
I decided to give it a shot.

I try to convince people to give Linux a try. I often install it on their
computers and help them with basic configuration and adjustments. I seems
to work really well with people totally new or uninterested/unconcerned in
computers. They have an open mind and usually are not windows-biased in
terms of user-experience. The fun part is that they ask question that
literally blow my mind, the ones I would never think of. Like some time ago
I got a question: If you click shutdown icon there's a popup saying the
computer will shutdown automatically in 60 seconds. Can you decrease the
time? ...I think to myself, yeah, that should be easy, there's probably a
config file that regulates that. Well, there's not. I took me some time to
find out that the program responsible for shutting down gnome is
gnome-session-quit. I've read the man, but there's no config file or
parameter to regulate that. I even downloaded the gnome source code but I
can't find where this is set. Spoiler: it's not in the gnome-session-quit.c
file :)

So where's the parameter to regulate the shutdown time? :)


It turned out to be a fun exercise :)


thanks in advance for your help
