There is no sensible way to convey that there are half a dozen different
variations on quitting an Ubuntu session, because that's not a sensible
situation. Our current long-term plan for solving this is described in
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/ExitStrategy>.

Until that is implemented, I would have preferred not to have any
changes to the Quit dialog used from Dapper to Hardy, because people
would then need to relearn the interface twice (once now, once then)
rather than once. However, for technical reasons using that same Quit
dialog in Intrepid would require reimplementing it, which we don't have
the resources for.

That leaves us with two unpleasant choices: the two dialogs currently
used in Intrepid, or a single dialog combining all the options. I don't
think it particularly matters either way, but staying with the two
dialogs requires less work, and lets us use the time we'd spend merging
them on fixing other problems.
