Couple comments: 1). Since I boot to a non-graphical level and then run startx, I use logout when I'm doing an update to anything X related so I can get back to a console, run the yum update, and then startx again without having to reboot (so there's a case for having a logout option). 2). Opening a terminal and running gnome-session-quit is completely non-intuitive and a ridiculous "option" to just having the logout button available. I'm a long time user of Linux (and Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc.) and I would have been hard pressed to come up with this solution very quickly...anybody less experienced would never figure this out!
