userMenu: Move "Power off" item to the bottom (2.22 KB, patch)

Description William Jon McCann 2012-06-26 14:47:01 UTC 
Power Off is now immediately next to System Settings in the menu. I think this isn't ideal. They are entirely unrelated and a slip isn't a harmful effect but is frustrating. It also causes a little stress when selecting the item.

The motivation for that was to make Power Off less prominent, and there seemed to be a conceptual relationship between that item and System Settings.

I take the point about stress though, so no objections here.

userMenu: Move "Power off" item to the bottom

The current position below "System Settings" is problematic - the
items are unrelated, and misclicks will result in a scary system
modal dialog that has to be cancelled.
Move items around a bit to avoid this problem.


Thanks for the quick update!
