I'll argue that the 60 sec timeout popups are better than the current 
two in one situation . If there's two entries Restart and Shut down , 
and each has its own timer it's possible to click on whatever you like 
to do and forget about it , whereas now you're obligated to make two 
clicks . Not to mention that it's way more intuitive to have restart as 
a separate entry and not put it as an unimportant addition . People do 
restarts after all.
