Hi Laura, There are a few issues that have conspired to leave the confusing state that you saw.
Firstly, the old "shut down" button was an Ubuntu patch to have everything in one dialog. The code changed underneath it from Hardy to Intrepid, so it would have to have been re-written. This wasn't done immediately though as other options were being considered. The current state is that the "green man" is just for logout, and the user is expected to go to "System->Shut Down..." to suspend or shut down the machine. This is the current functionality of the upstream code, but it is being discussed there, and they will possibly move to a single dialog as Ubuntu had (this is in the 9.04 timeframe). As well as this the "fast-user-switch" applet (the one that has your name in it) has been improved to, as well as switching users, show your IM status, and offer shutdown options. This will be the default in the top right in Intrepid, with the "green man" not in the panel. I believe this is now the default, and it may have been that you installed just after the change was made. This bug is a discussion about the best way to transition users who still have the "green man" to using the user-switch applet, which provides all of the options in one. I believe that is why your bug was marked a duplicate, as this bug is trying to transition users to a situation where they have all the options in one place again.
