...then we're about to re-start the 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2006-March/000464.html 
discussion, where the proposal is to make two sections or even two 
seperate dialogs: one for options that log you out (log out, restart, 
shut down), one for pause-stuff (lock, switch user, sleep, hibernate).

Although this is still my personal favourite, I don't mean to push this; 
If this topic is coming up again, I thought I'd point you to previous 
conversations. (there has been a thread "The shiny new dapper dialog" 
this month on sounder, too).

There is a lot to say about this matter, and feel free to do so. Manu 
Cornet, who designed the current dialog, was in favor (probably 
partially on grounds of the old release date) of keeping the current 
dialog.
