I don't have an answer for you, just a similar question of my own :-)

My power icon gives me the usual popup asking if I want to hibernate,
logout, shutdown, etc. Accepting any choice gives a popup saying the
session was saved, then I have to do the process again to get it to do
what I actually wanted. I'd really like to fix this and have the machine
just do what I want without helpfully telling me it kinda did what I
asked then stopping...
