hi,
using Jaunty , up-to-date as of this report...

the suspend/hibernate do not ask for confirmation when selected from the fast user switch applet...
this is a problem, because the options are situated too close to the restart/shutdown options.

what happened is that i ended up pressing the hibernate option instead of restart, which was a whole lot of unnecessary rebooting...
i'm pretty sure this is going to be a problem for several others also with such close non-icon menu...

using> Fast User Switch Applet 2.24.0-0ubuntu13

the problem is that the inconsistent presentation of options in the applet
Guest Session- NO timeout
Lock Screen- NO timeout
Log Out- timeout 60
Suspend - NO timeout
Hibernate - NO timeout
Restart - timeout 60
Shutdown - timeout 60

not having a timeout for suspend/lock screen is fine ,
 but the Guest session / Hibernate option require a time out, the guest session is the first option with chances of accidental clicks, and the hibernate option is close to the restart option also with chances of accidental clicks

either the options need to be arranged properly and consistently with ALL THE TIMED OPTIONS TOGETHER , but hibernate is a longer process, which i think should also have a time out, maybe shorter interval

to complicate the process, there are no icons for the different actions, which makes the options closer than the menu items, which increases the chances of the accidental clicks...

pls correct this... with a consistent iconized menu
