when girder is in system tray, windows (XP SP2) will not shutdown or reboot (it DOES go into standby though).
if girder window is open, that window will close, but girder will still be in the system tray. i see the hourglass for a few tenths of a second before it goes away, and then nothing happens (when trying to restart or shutdown the PC).
i assume that for whatever reason, girder won't shutdown itself when windows tries to? i'll leave that up to the smart people to figure out, but until i EXIT girder, windows cannot exit (AT ALL).
upon further investigation, when other windows are open, girder is the only window that is closed when doing shutdown/restart (tested, this is because it is the first process started, when exited and restarted, other windows close before it, but still no windows shutdown).
hope this info helps.
in the windows event viewer, it only logs that windows acknowledges an attempt to shutdown (or reboot) and that it failed.
