Comment:
My thought is that the dialog is still a bad idea...but the layout does
look a little nicer. In particular, it corrects that problem I
mentioned in the original report where there were power-management
options on the same row as session-management. With your new layout,
all the session management is on the top and all the power management is
on the bottom.
I do still think you need to keep the HIG button layout in mind, though.
The most-used buttons should be on the right, with the most-most used
button in the bottom right.
i.e., the layout might be better as:
[Switch User] [Lock Screen] [Log Out]
[Hibernate] [Sleep] [Restart] [Shut Down]
Please also make sure a help button is available. I still have no
freakin' clue what the real difference is between sleep and hibernate,
or which is which, and I doubt most others users will, either. Lock
Screen and Switch User might also need explaining for many users.
