   When the user clicks on "Logout", or "Restart" or "Shutdown", a window pop-ups and requires the user to confirm his action. I believe this window is useless, anti-productive (loss of time) for most users.

No. it is not. I myself have accidently pressed such buttons and personally know a lot of people that do so on a irregular basis. Thanks to the option our current session does not go through a abrupt abort and work does not get lost. But this is my opinion and real world experience. May not match with everyone.

[Workaround : Alt-F2 enter "gconf-editor", Apps>indicator-session, and tick suppress-logout-restart-shutdown]

Am OK with workaround for advanced users / special cases from gconf. For default users, confirmation dialog is absolutely required.
