Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

In the System menu, there is an option labelled "Quit..."

I have seen two different users confused by this option, who have had
trouble determining how to log out. There are a few reasons for this,
and some other problems associated with this naming:

-"Quit" is generally not associated with logging out of the system. When 
somebody is looking to log out or turn off the computer, "Quit" is usually not 
the first thing on his mind.
-That menu item also leads to Hibernate, Stand By and Lock Screen. None of 
these are really quitting, but rather pausing.
-"Quit" may be mistaken for the action of exiting a program. It is (vaguely) 
possible that a user could select that menu option thinking to quit a program.

I will admit to being unable to think of such a broad title as would
cover all these options at once (other than Quit), but I believe if
there is a tidy and understandable solution, it would work well.
