As a recent convert to Ubuntu from Win I have a question regarding
shutdown on Ubuntu 8.10.  If I have unsaved changes in OOo document or
files in jEdit and I perform a shutdown then it appears to kill the
applications without giving them a chance to ask the user whether to
save their changes.  Is this something that I can do anything about or
do I just have to be careful when shutting down?

I've used windows for thirty years
    

Unlikely I think as it has only been around for about 25.  I have been
using it for most of that time but I try to keep it quiet :)

  
and it never asked me if I want to save
work during shutdown. When I clicked on the shutdown that is what it did.

I have just checked in case MS induced senility is setting in with me
(see previous comments).  I booted into XP, opened an MS Word doc,
edited it and started a shut down.  Word popped up a box asking if I
wanted to save it.

I'm sorry for my first reply. It seems I was mistaken. I booted into windows and open a ms office word doc and it asked if I wanted to save during shut down. I did the same with open office document in Ubuntu 9.04, and during shut down it asked if I wanted to save the doc.

Sorry for typing without checking.
Stephen.
