In Jaunty the System > Leave function was taken off of the menu. I believe this is a usability and accessibility mistake.

The only way to access this now the less-than-vital fast-user-switch-applet. The fast-user-switch-applet is not accessible except by mouse. This poses accessibility problems for users with disabilities and users that simply want to user their keyboards. As far as usability is concerned, or simply users who do not want the fast-user-switch-applet installed, I find this of far greater concern.

I believe logically and for user interface reasons, for usability and accessibility, the System > Leave Function (for shutdown, restart, suspend, hibernate, or whatever the function may be) should be place back on the System menu.
