Totally agree. 
- "Lock screen" should go away. People who locks screen often can use the lock 
applet or set a keyboard shortcut
- "Switch user" should go. In a first installation there's no second user, so 
there's no way to switch user. In users-admin, a hint about a "Fast User 
Switch applet" could be shown
- "Log out" could be the same than above.
