Here's my suggestion: remove "Lock Screen" from the dialogue, and call
it "Exit..." You'd probably have to remove "Switch User" too. And while
at it, it'd be nice to remove Standby and Hibernate.

If we insist on having loads of different options in that dialogue, then
i'd still go for "Exit...". It doesn't fit exactly, as Seb pointed out,
but it is as close as we'll get, I think.
