It is quite an invasive patch to the user interface. There was some
discussion about the log out/shutdown dialogs some time ago and the
current layout is the result of this. Sorry, but I cannot find the
corresponding mailing list postings or bug reports anymore. GNOME's
mailing list search seems to be down.

So the question should be why to not use the GNOME dialogs and menu
entries?

Cheers,

Sebastian
