Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

In "If you have been using Windows" document, there is two wrong descriptions on how to logout and standby. In the "Glossary of Windows Terms" section, there is:
"Log Off
     To close all your programs and leave the computer ready for someone else to log in, choose System ▸ Quit..., then Log Out."

in fact, there is no 'Quit' dialog anymore, a user can directly logout by choosing 'System ▸ Logout xxx...', where xxx is the user name.

Same issue with 'Standby' in the same section, there is:
'Standby
     To put your computer into a power-saving mode until you resume using it, choose System ▸ Quit..., then Suspend or Hibernate. (Hibernate requires no power at all, but is slower, and is not available on some types of computer.)"

it must be 'System ▸ Shutdown...'.

Confirmed for both 8.10 and 9.04. The wording has been changed in the alpha release to reflect the behaviour of 8.10. But it's still wrong since shutdown/logout is no longer available from the system menu.

It was moved in one of the 8.10 updates. I'll patch it again tonight.

Patched the Gnome entities to reflect change in menu structure - now has &logout; and &shutdown; in reference to the two new menu entries.
