Please change Shutdown/Sleep option to not logout the user

Bug Description

Currently, if I choose Shutdown in the System menu option and pick the "Sleep" option (which does Suspend-to-RAM), I'm booted from my session and after that the computer does suspend-to-RAM. When coming back, I'm presented with the GDM login.

This is really really bad. If I want to suspend-to-ram I *do not want to logout* of my session. I just want to suspend it to resume it later.

This was the Sleep behaviour in earlier releases (I'm testing Dapper) and I, for one, cannot tolerate to be booted of my session when suspending the computer.

Please revert the changes, the old stuff was just fine so there is really no need to change it.

This is the new shutdown dialog, pretty different of the one advertised here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperFlight3

The latter, worked just fine!
