Why not put it, then in the Desktop drop down menu *along* with
log-out, so you'd have log-out *and* suspend in the same menu, but
doing different actions?
Or put them both under a new sub-menu in the Desktop drop down menu.
What it would be called I have no Idea.
Or rename "Logout" menu item as Leon suggested.
Just suggestions to ponder.
Did anyone file the bug yet?
