I am using breezy. My machine is an AMD Athlon 2200+ if that's relevant.

Here's a use case scenario.

User hits "System->Log Out".
Options seen on my machine are:
* log out
* shutdown
* reboot
* hibernate
* PLUS: save current setup option.

User doesn't know what hibernate means unless we are talking about bears.

User hits Help button.

There is information only on the Log Out option.
************************************************
While the reboot & shutdown option are fairly self-evident the hibernate option
isn't. I'm a fairly advanced user and I wasn't too sure.

There needs to be information on what hibernate is, what it does, the power it
consumes compared to shutting down, and the pros & cons for hibernate vs
shutting down.

Also, information about the "save current setup" option would be handy.
