Bug Description

Log out and shutdown options both have a confirmation dialog when clicking on their respective buttons. The suspend option should have one as well.

I disagree that yet one more prompt dialog to harrass the user is needed, but Ayatana Design has been subscribed to make the final decision.

Suspend is a non-destructive reversible action so does not need a confirmation dialog. Marking as won't fix.

It is however a tedious waste of time should one accidentally trigger suspend or hibernate from the session menu when one meant to logout (as someone who oft uses his laptop from a distance, that *does* happen on occassion). I really wish you chaps would reconsider, even if it just meant adding the confirmation dialogues as an option and/or having them suppressed by default.

Although Canonical do seem increasingly opposed to offering even a minimal level of customisation/options now a days, so I won't hold my breath. :-(
