Ok, but then the real question is, then: Do you think it's clear, now? 
Do you think Aunt Tilly understands the difference between hibernation, 
shutdown and sleep? Logout and switch user?

I personally don't think so. So we either have to come up with a way to 
make it logical, which is inherently difficult because the differences 
in the options are both subtle but complex at the same time.

If we can't make an icon describe that hibernate will turn off the 
computer and not log you out, then a help text is better then nothing... 
  I think?
