Comment:
I'd like to be able to remove the options that my machine doesn't support.

There should be a gnome-power-preferences that:

1) Specify buttons on the logout dialogue. There reboot could be ticked off by default but those that need to dualbot, use reboot regularly. Maybe a function could probe whether hibernate and/or sleep is available.
2) Allow what powerbutton does. I want my powerbutton to turn off, with the nice usplash screen. 
Power button:  
[ Log out dialogue ] (default)
[ Power off ] (with timer)
[ Sleep ]
[Hibernate ]
[ Log out ]
[ Custom command ] (halt rhytmbox whatever)

3) Tooltips with ALL buttons, to tell people what suspend, hibernate, log out, sleep, etc means. Eg: 
"Hibernate saves your current session and powers off the computer, when you turn it on again it will be just as when you pushed hibernate (right click for more help on this subject)"

"Sleep saves your current session and put the computer in low power mode.  When you hit a key or the powerbutton the session will be just as is was when you pushed the sleep button."
