right, but by doing that you will have the system, closing session and
the shutdown entry list the duplicated actions for example. in this case
does it still make sense to have two entries there?

the ubuntu changes were on the gnome-session dialog that GNOME doesn't
use and there was a gconf key which allowed users to use the gnome-panel
upstream dialogs instead

you suggest patching one of the dialogs so the menu entries will have
redundant actions, in which case in might not make sense to have several
items listed there

right, it you decide to modify the upstream dialogs, in which case no
change is required but we go back to have one dialog rather than two and
then need to change gnome-panel and the other softwares using those
