I like the idea of;

[User name]
-----------
Lock screen
Switch user
Log out
-----------
Suspend
Hibernate
Restart
Shut down
-----------

I'm not so keen on having the list of users directly in the menu. The
list could be too long, and it would need to be updated when adding
users. Both of these problems grow worse with LDAP.

Showing a user name will not work for R1, though. So for now it will
need another name, and we're back to the question of whether "Lock
screen" fits in with the power options. I think the name "Session"
could work;

[Session]
-----------
Lock screen
-----------
Suspend
Hibernate
Restart
Shut down
-----------
