@Matthew:

For whatever reason, Redmar is using the word "menu" for both dialogs
and actual menus.

My attachments should clarify what he's talking about.

@Redmar:

There is a difference between "X is important" and "X should be
prioritized above everything". Your proposals either put the menu size
above everything or put discoverability above everything. Neither of
those is necessarily the best approach.

The rationale behind the current design is that "restart" can be
interpreted as a particular case of "shutdown", while "suspend"and
"hibernate" can not. It's an attempt to find a balance.

I'm not saying that the current design is necessarily ideal. But you
should present other arguments because the ones you presented so far are
based on the false premise that "importance = priority above
everything".

Furthermore, I disagree with your opinion on what "looks nicer". In my
opinion, the power button dialog looks cluttered and confusing with so
many buttons.

Finally, the issue about the dialog being too wide is actually a GTK3
issue. Dialogs in GTK3 tolerate a larger length than GTK2 before
automatically adding linebreaks. I'm not sure why this is so, but either
way it's a toolkit issue and not one that should be worked around only
for this specific dialog.
