Am I wrong in thinking that in Windows you have a Log Out option and
that provides a similar dialog with several other options? If that is
the case, then there are much bigger issues that new users have with
Windows than the log out menu option.

Changing it to something else like "Stop Session" or "Leave Computer" or
whatever is going to confuse even experienced Windows users.

I think it is fine the way it is now, as far as the option text goes,
with the tooltip needing to be changed (I haven't done my daily update
yet, so it might not still say what it says).

Log out username.. isn't really confusing, and I think it is a better
option than any others suggested. Familiarity will go a long way for
users coming from the other side too.
