Tried that.  From the guest user created at installation time I Have a 
lock screen/suspend/shutdown/logout menu on the right end of the top 
icon panel.  Only the 'switch user' item is greyed out.

From my own account, which was copied from Debian Jessie, I have 
only a logout icon.

So it looks as if the matter may depend on the user's xcfe 
configuration.
 Perhaps we should be looking at the dotfiles.
