Bug Description

When you click on the shutdown or restart command in the gear menu the shutdown dialogue appear asking you again if you want to shutdown or restart the computer.

Either remove the obsolete entry in the gear menu, or shutdown/restart the computer without asking again.

I can confirm this behaviour. Intended outcome should be restart showed 'restart' as the default option and shut down showed 'shut down'. Now the gear menu entries are essentially the same. Restart seems completely vain and inoperational. It does nothing right now. Maybe it should be done away with altogether. The same functionality can be achieved through one entry in the gear menu.

In a terminal run

Then go to "apps / indicator-session"

And enable "suppress-logout-restart-shutdown"
