This is all just wrong. Why are the logout, shut down, restart controls
needed in Dash? Why repeat the same functionality that's already there
in the power-cog? It just adds clutter, nothing more. If a keyboard
shortcut is sought after, then the Alt-F4 dialog should be improved
instead. Having to activate Dash, type "shu" and press return is not a
"short"-cut anyway... Plus, from what I saw in OMG Ubuntu, if you type
"logout", the first entry is restart?!? So, if you press return after
that...
I think it's a useless repetition of functionality but if you really
want to have this in Dash, please at least implement it right. Session
management actions are not applications. A new Lens called "Session
Management" or "Session" should be implemented with "Restart", "Logout",
"Shutdown", "Suspend", and "Hibernate". Plus, searches for other common
terms should direct to logical items. E.g. "halt","shut", "quit", or
"exit" should bring shutdown, "reboot" should bring restart, "sleep"
should bring suspend, "logoff" should bring logout, etc. Searching for
"session" should bring all of them. Of course, with a new lens, these
could (should) be mouse-clicked too.

Now we have session management in the Dash. It is absurd to relearn
the commands for the Dash because they use different names or have a
space in it. All I suggest is to show the same search result for e. g.:
'shut down', 'shutdown' or 'halt'.
*Alt+F2*
Is not the right place - IMHO. To shutdown the computer I would have
to write:
'gksudo halt' ? pw ? press Enter
... this is way to long. I would prefer then the cog.
*Dash*
open Dash + tip 'halt' + two times Enter ? much better and faster
