Ok, I'm think the best place to fix this is in unity-lens-applications. We
don't need design feedback to do that.
I'll add that to my todo list, if you want to contribute let me know.

Title:
Unity Dash can't understand "logout", "reboot", or "shutdown"
Status in Unity:
Triaged
Status in Unity Applications Lens:
Triaged
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This bug proposes the additional surfacing of power-management and
session actions directly within the Dash:
- Reboot ("restart" is another good alias for this)
- Shutdown (other intuitive aliases: "shut down", "turn off")
- logout (aliases: "log out", "log off" and "logoff")
- Suspend/hibernate
- Lock
- Switch User
Currently these user-initiates actions are presented via the Devices
(cog/gear-icon-menu), and can be accessed via the keyboard using
either:
1. [Alt]+[F10] [Left] [Up/Down] [Enter]
2. [Alt] "Shutdown"/"Log out" [Up/Down] [Enter]
3. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] [Enter] ("Log off" only)
4. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[t] "sudo reboot" [Enter]
(Note that "Restart"/"Reboot" can be access directly via these
methods).
These methods are less likely to be found by the user than surfacing these
actions additionally within the Dash. This would help in cases were a
mouse/point is no longer available, such as "mouse-cursor did not appear after
logging in to the Unity Desktop"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287
This would also assist with "ctrl-alt-delete doesn't provide a reboot option"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403289
It is proposed by surfacing these options in the Unity Dash, that
finding the actions would be more intuitive, and would make the Dash
feel more complete as the defacto first-point-of-call for user
initiated actions.
Implementation possibilities:
1. Hard-code special-case actions into the Dash (requires Design review,
code and ship acceptance)
2. Implement as Dash plugin (requires code and ship acceptance)
3. Install additional .desktop listing the Name, Icon and Aliases in
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop (can be provided by a separate optional
package, only requires ship acceptance)
