I copied the icons because they are quickly accessible. That mockup is
not intended to show 1:1 reflection about ROS UI as it was created
merely to show the constuction and functionality of the start menu.

As user security is a big issue nowdays, the lock button has higher
priority than logoff, user can find the logoff function from the
shutdown menu as well as the basic function is the same; you press
shutdown when you leave from the computer, no matter if you actually
shut it down or just log off.
