The logout dialog in 8.04 supports:

 * Log out
 * Switch user
 * Lock screen
 * Restart system
 * Shut down system
 * Hibernate system
 * Suspend system

The new one:

 * Log out
 * Switch user

What does the opensuse one support?  If it's similar to the functionality of
the 8.04 one, we should look at that, but if not, we should get started on
replacing the functionality which has been lost.  I at least find myself
missing it.
