Public bug reported: One of my favorite programs to use in Ubuntu is Synaptic. Besides launching applications and performing other common tasks, it allows you to perform system operations such as logout, suspend, shutdown, etc very quickly. I would love to see this same functionality brought to Unity. The dash should list basic system operations (perhaps in a lens?) in order to make system operations such as logout and restart more accessible. These operations could also be pinned to the launcher if so desired by the user. For example: more advanced users who use unstable software might prefer to pin the restart function. The bottom line is that system operations are commonly performed and need to be placed in a more visible location than tucked away in a menu.
