There is a bug open about this:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6903

The option is dependent of the theme. I'm not sure of how useful that
would be. Those options are nice to use from the desktop because you
keep your current session in his state. Does a standard boot make a
difference on hibernate to go to GDM? Jeff any plan to change the
artwork for this?

They don't do the same things, I'm not sure they should be the same. The
switch user has a list of users so you can pick one. How would you
change it?


> Will the new icons also be shared by gdm and lock dialog?

Some coherence would be nice, right.


> Would it make some sense to merge the 3 (gdm, logout, lock) in the long term?

We already had some discussions on the topic, this is mentionned by the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GdmRoadmap specification.
