- GNOME Bonobo components from one login session will not be reused in another login session because they may not have access to the same tickets and tokens. There is similar isolation for gconfd-2 for the same reason.
- Users can log in simultaneously from multiple machines without running afoul of GNOME software locks in the home directory.
- If a user's home directory is unavailable upon login, a temporary homedir will be created on local disk and used instead.
- Users can log in with "ignore customizations" or in terminal mode to repair severely broken dotfiles.
- DONE User processes generated by Athena software components do not stick around after the user logs out. On cluster machines, user processes are forcibly killed after the user logs out.
- Athena machines have a screensaver which accepts a Kerberos password to unlock and which allows the user to be logged out after a set time.
- DONE GNOME won't display a dialog about changes in X keyboard settings from one login to another, since the same account is used on multiple machines.
- DOCUMENT Basic GNOME functions will work when the user's home directory is inaccessible (such as when the user's AFS tokens have expired) or is over quota.
- GNOME's trash handling has fixes for Athena home directories.
- DONE Users receive warning dialogs when Kerberos tickets are about to expire.
- DONE Users receive warning dialogs at login time when their homedir or mail quotas are approaching full.

Planned solution: The debathena-authwatch package will provide authwatch. The debathena-grenew package will install a desktop item which adds "Renew Authentication" to the panel menu. The debathena-xsession package will run authwatch for Athena logins.
Status: The grenew desktop item is not done; remaining steps are done.
Milestone: Feature Complete (one day)
Done.
