Couple comments:

1). Since I boot to a non-graphical level and then run startx, I use
logout when I'm doing an update to anything X related so I can
get back to a console, run the yum update, and then startx again
without having to reboot (so there's a case for having a logout
option).

2). Opening a terminal and running gnome-session-quit is completely
non-intuitive and a ridiculous "option" to just having the
logout button available.  I'm a long time user of Linux (and Gnome,
KDE, XFCE, etc.) and I would have been hard pressed to come up
with this solution very quickly...anybody less experienced would never
figure this out!
