Hrm... I'm not sure about this one.
The original goal of this key was, I believe, to enable the user to click
on "logout" and go away, without needing to click again. This is why
there's the timer on the new dialogs. I'd prefer we deprecate this key,
but it's just my opinion.

The idea was to have the items in a progressive order. I think the current
order makes more sense, but input from more other people is welcome :-)

Those are theme issues (but are nonetheless important).
