Sending this notification is afaik the default setting. ( I can't remember
changing it )

Based the the notification settings of Xfce4-power-manager, it does appear,
when the user does not mean it. 

I understand that for the user who is always using power via an electrical
outlet this is not a problem. 
However:
  - Mobile clients are in use with xubuntu (and might increase).
  - Mobile clients can run low on battery.
  - "show logout dialog" might be triggered without the user meaning it. 
     ( Default or not shouldn't matter. It's configurable, so it should be
safe)
  - "Accidental confirmation" might happen.

Therefore I think it's necessary for a good user experience to supply a "safe"
handling of the logout dialog.



The current patch must not be the solution though. Others I can think of atm:
- Focus cancel only, when triggered automatically 
  (might be confusing because the same dialog has different behaviours)

- Add a "are you sure" dialog for each option in die logout window. To be safe
"no" would be the default selection here.

- Make the dialog not accept user input within 1 second after appearing: Only,
if triggered automatically.
