Bug Description
In the Unity applications lens, there are dozens of applications listed that are also listed in system settings menu. Considering the system-settings window can be reached by clicking on the upper-right-
Also, in the application lens there are logout, lock screen, restart, and shut down buttons present. Why is this? Those options are not even applications.
If the end goal is to make unity more user friendly and more organized, I just listed 27 items that can be removed from the application menu with, from what I can tell, no adverse consequences.
I am using the 12.04 alpha, but I can confirm that this is also present in 11.10.

I definitely think that this is an issue that should be fixed for 12.04 lts. This is one of my biggest annoyances with Unity, and I do not believe it would be that hard to change. Am I the first person to notice this issue, or are the shut-down/ logout/ lock-screen/ restart buttons there on purpose?
