Add an automatic count-down timer of about 1 minute to the default selection. I've had several instances when I've selected "shut down" on my machine only to come back hours later and notice that the machine is still on and the "Are you sure you want to close all programs and shut down the computer?" dialog is happily waiting for my click.

Althought the present shutdown screen seems somewhat bland, the basics of it are quite good because it
1.has the ubuntu theme style wise
2.Is quite compact.
It just needs to have suspend,log out, and lock screen buttons added in line with and in the same style as the current restart ,cancel and shutdown buttons and also a little "pizaz" added in order to set it apart from the other windows within ubuntu.(becuase it is a special window obviously).
In other words, don't overdo the restyling, but restyling does need to be done.
