4. Doesn't feel like a GNOME dialog. There's just too many choices in
there.

I've already stated this in the past and I don't we to show stop energy,
so I've been trying to not answer on this thread again :-)

I truly appreciate Manu's work on this. But I feel he worked towards one
goal that was set (one big logout dialog) and that this goal is not the
correct one.

(I'm not saying the upstream version is better: although I prefer it,
the dialogs also have a couple of issues)

Let's step back a bit.

Why do we want one and only one dialog?
What are the usual actions the user will do with this (or these)
dialog(s)?
