Comment 11 for bug 28798

A somewhat unrelated problem with the current setup in Dapper is that the System->Shutdown->Suspend option logs the user out, then suspends, which is a very different action than if you use the gnome-panel logout button and select Suspend from that dialog.

I'd consider myself an advanced computer user, and the diverging selection of logout/shutdown/etc dialogs are becoming rather ridiculous and difficult to follow. :-)
