ideas born from a strong cup of morning coffee:

One button on the menu which pulls up a timed dialog with 5 buttons
cancel,reboot,shutdown,suspend  and configure.

Have the default timed action in the dialog be configurable so people
who commonly suspend make suspend their default, people who most
commonly reboot make reboot their default and so on... and make the
length of time to wait for dialog interaction configurable.

Make the text of single menu item which brings up the dialog match the
text of the default configured action to some degree, have the tooltip
be more verbose about what the one menu item can do.

Choose a default choice for action and timeout by paper rock scissors
or thunderdome death match. On the first run of the timed dialog for
any user account also pop up the configure dialog(if the system admin
hasn't locked down this configuration choice) so the user can choose
which default action the menu button will take and be made aware that
it can be reconfigured later without any real hassle.
