Add a reboot option to check (fsck) all disks when it reboots.

How would this happen? Would KDE tun2fs to make sure the fsck happens on reboot?

I guess, it is simple - just create a file /forcefsck or using command shutdown -rF now.

This is not a bad idea but I think such a thing should not be listed with the usual options. There are already so many options in the exit menu. I personally think an option to create small scripts to logout and perform actions would be better so that this can be added by anyone who needs it.

Alternatively it could be an advanced option in the shutdown window, but that I would break the flow too much.

Considering that I have no idea how to run fsck manually, I think this would be great

Kickoff in KDE3 (at least under openSUSE 10.x) had an advanced option by clicking a small button next to the restart option, to reboot directly into a different operating system. I miss that option, and I think this sort of option could be implemented in the same way.

@ angel: KDE 4 has that. When the restart button pops up, click and hold and it lists your grub entries. That is, assuming you have grub set up correctly.

How does that work? Does it change default in grub.conf ?

Interesting. I tried that, and nothing happened. Good to know its supposed to be there though.

You're using opensuse, right? It should work out of the box.
