-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your attention to detail here, but we can't actually avoid more than one wakeup per run of Mission Control by making this change: this timeout only happens while shutting down MC. In practice, that only happens during the regression tests anyway.

If this is MC's only call to g_timeout_add() then you can mark the GNOME Goal as "done" already.

If you fix the comment and the constant naming as described below, I'd accept a patch anyway, but it isn't very important; or feel free to close this bug as WONTFIX if you don't think it's significant enough to bother about.

The comment was already wrong (it's nothing to do with connectivity), but you've made it more wrong, by changing the constant to be a time in seconds while not amending the comment to match.

I'd also prefer a _SEC or _S suffix on the constant, to make it absolutely clear that it's in seconds (it should have been called ..._TIME_MS already, really).

It should be something like this:

/* Seconds to wait for everything to be freed during shutdown */
#define EXIT_COUNTDOWN_TIME_SEC 5

Not really a significant enough improvement to be worth leaving a bug open, but please reopen if you want to update the patch as suggested.
