I would like to comment in favor of the current dialog box. First of all it looks good. Second, even though it's not using standard buttons it's very clear what one should do -- click one of the icons. The combination of text and icons is also good -- usually the icons are enough, but if they're not (the difference between hibernate and sleep) the text helps. Regarding the idea of having 2 dialogs: The current dialog is logical: it contains everything related to leaving the current session. When I saw it for the same time I thought it was a great improvement over the Windows two-dialog way, and I still think so. Seeing the options and choosing the right one is easier than having to think if what you want to do was classified as "pausing" or "ending" the session. The only problem for me is the menu label "log out". The first time I used ubuntu it took me a few minutes to figure out how to shut down the computer.
