I don't know what your plans with switch-user and lock are, but those two icons are images now while the others are abstract symbols. This already was so previously, only now the logout icon is a symbol, too. Maybe this arrowmania could be amplified with the following new icons:

* lock-screen: a circle with a cross through it 
* switch user: a circle with one arrow pointing inwards and another making a circular movement inside the circle

That way we'd be more consistent AND cryptic at the same time! ;-)

Ok, I'm kidding, actually I think it would make more sense to keep the door-exit symbol for logout, and maybe it'd be possible to make a frozen computer symbol for hibernate (frozen is a good idea, but no-one will get your blue-icon-reference). 
For the sleep-icon I'm thinking of the image of a totally exhausted hacker that fell asleep on his keyboard, but that's probably one of my less brilliant ideas.
