While logged into Ubuntu Desktop, if you hit the power button for one
second, it produces a menu similar to what I'm proposing for ctrl-alt-
delete.

Perhaps, as a quick fix, we can just point ctrl-alt-delete to that same
menu (produced by hit the power button). The only proposed option
missing from this menu is "System Monitor" Windows OS offers "Task
Manager" as an option when a user hits ctrl-alt-delete and I never want
Ubuntu to be out-done by windows, so it seems we should put our System
Monitor option there as well.

Title:
  ctrl-alt-delete is missing a reboot option in Unity Desktop

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Unity Desktop doesn't allow a user to reboot their computer by
  hitting ctrl-alt-delete.

  When ctrl-alt-delete his hit, only two options are provided:
  - Lock
  - Log out

  This bugs is requesting that 4 more options be added to this menu:
  - Reboot
  - Shutdown
  - System Monitor
  - Command Prompt

  Use Case:

  Today I encountered a situation where I did not have a mouse-cursor
  after logging into the Unity desktop. That bug is reported in detail
  here:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1403287

  Ultimately, I had to hit ctrl-alt-t to acquire a command prompt, and
  type the command "sudo reboot" in order to reboot my computer.

  The most widely familiar "first step" for dealing with a computer that
  is either "locked up" or "missing a mouse cursor" is the Windows
  tradition of hitting ctrl-alt-delete. The Unity desktop understands
  ctrl-alt-delete, but offers a super limited menu of options after the
  user hits ctrl-alt-delete.

  Additionally, keep this mind: Although most menus are accessible (in
  Unity) via the keyboard, the little gear icon (top-right: used to
  reboot your computer) is NOT intuitively accessible via the keyboard.

  Furthermore, the unity dash should understand what "REBOOT" or
  "SHUTDOWN" means! I'm not saying that the unity dash should restart
  you computer when you type restart or reboot there, but it should at
  least offer the option of doing so after such things are typed.
