Public bug reported:

Could the 'shutdown' option trigger the same menu you get when pressing
the on/off button? This would safe space in the indicator menu, since
Suspend can be removed, and would be nicer to look at. Especially for
non-English languages

There are several reasons for this:
1) First: it is more consistent to use just one menu

2) When you click on shutdown you get a menu where you can choose
reboot, shutdown or cancel. However, the width is determined by the
length of the text "Are you sure you want to close all programs and shut
down the computer?". When translated to another language, this text can
be even longer (English is a short language). The effect is basically an
ugly window when you want to shut down, while there is a perfectly fine
window you get when you press the on/off button. So why not use that
one?

Thanks!
