Research direction

Start at the top-panel exit button and inspect the exit menu options, especially the Restart DMS action and the other actions that require a 500ms hold. Make Restart DMS follow the same hold-to-activate behavior, then verify all exit menu options behave consistently by reproducing the listed steps.
