Oh, PLEASE help me! I have Linux debian 7.7.0 i386-amd64 underVBox 4.3.20 and here is the problem:

When I open the menu from Linux's top-right corner and click SHUT DOWN..., it shows the dialog box with choices, and that Linux guest will automatically shutdown after 60 seconds and [U]I need to change that delay value to 3 seconds. I don't want to - and I will not re-click the Shut Down -button on the shown dialog - and that's it. Period. ;)

By Googling I found these "instructions" for UBUNTU:

None of this worked on my 13.04 system. In the end I re-compiled gnome-sessiongsm_shell.c and gsm_logout_dialog.c change #define AUTOMATIC_ACTION_TIMEOUT from 60 to 5

I'm new to Linux and I don't understand anything about this, so I need your guys' help!

Here are my questions:


What is a GNOME-SESSION? Or GNOME-SESSION-MANAGER?
Do I need to INSTALL it?
Do I need to DOWNLOAD it? And from WHERE
HOW do I install it?
How do I RECOMPILE it?
Where are the files gsm_shell.c and gsm_logout_dialog.c located?


Please try to bear my ignorance and try to advice me like I was a 6-year old retard kid. :p I've had enough of unspecific instructions that only make everybody mad.

Thank You all in advance!
