The man who pays the bills should be deferred to, of course, and rightly
so.  But I'd like to emphasize that it still doesn't make perfect sense
- "Quit," "No, don't, just lock my screen" isn't any better than
"Start," "Shutdown"... actually in a way that makes better sense because
at least you're "start"ing a "shutdown" process.

Don't get me wrong, I like the dialog, at least I like the way it looks,
but it's more convenient - and makes more sense - to leave those actions
separate.

I felt similarly about consolidating all the menu items in GDM to one
"Options" menu - "Shutdown" isn't an option, it's an action.  "Language"
and "Session" are options.  I also thought the old GDM theme was more
pleasing to look at, the language icon looked nice and made it more
obvious that you could choose your language.

If only the text is to change then I think I agree that "Quit" is as
close as we're going to get to good.
