(Get the code!)
My thought is that the dialog is still a bad idea...but the layout does look a little nicer. In particular, it corrects that problem I mentioned in the original report where there were power-management options on the same row as session-management. With your new layout, all the session management is on the top and all the power management is on the bottom.
I do still think you need to keep the HIG button layout in mind, though. The most-used buttons should be on the right, with the most-most used button in the bottom right.
i.e., the layout might be better as:
[Switch User] [Lock Screen] [Log Out]
[Hibernate] [Sleep] [Restart] [Shut Down]
Please also make sure a help button is available. I still have no freakin' clue what the real difference is between sleep and hibernate, or which is which, and I doubt most others users will, either. Lock Screen and Switch User might also need explaining for many users.
