Comment:
I find the dialog confusing, but what exactly is the problem? For clarity I try 
to formulate 3 issues:
1) The "System/log out" thing currently offers six options (the menu we're 
discussing). Three of those options don't have anything to do with logging out. 
2) There are six entries in total, which is a *lot*
3) The six entries have text and icons mixed, which is hard to read through. 
You either want to read the icons, or the text, not both. So all options 
horizontally aligned with text underneath would do (like win-xp does: 
http://www.edbott.com/weblog/images/shutdown.jpg ), or align them vertically 
and put the text at the right of each icon. 


Now that I realize there already *are* two entries in the System-menu for 
related actions: "lock screen" and "log out", my previous suggestion tries to 
fix all these 3 problems without an extra entry in the menu, really: Lock 
screen is just replaced by "Pause session";

Pause session
 - lock screen
 - hibernate
 - sleep

Log out
 - log out
 - shutdown
 - restart

I omitted switch user here, see also https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives
/ubuntu-devel/2006-February/016036.html  , but maybe we want it in
anyway. I also assumed one extra click through the menu's for locking
won't hurt.

(I don't want to brute-force my opinion through repetition, but I hope
this makes my idea more clear)
