It it's "crammed with all the cruft" because we wanted to provide all 
those options to our users, and we didn't know how to do it better.

I agree the dialog is sub-optimal. I agree "log out dialog" isn't 
appropriate when more than half of the options don't log you out.

Do you have a good suggestion for improvement? Something constructive 
(like http://librarian.launchpad.net/1632715/logout4x.png vs. current 
dialog, other possible approaches, etcetera)

It is late in the release cycle, and chances are the dialog won't/can't 
be changed anymore, but you constructive suggestions are always most 
welcome. (Pointing to the things that are currently bad is ok, but 
suggesting a nicer alternative is better).

Thanks,
Eric
