The point is the logout dialog is the wrong place to put that choice.  
Suspending is not a function of logging out; nor is the vice versa.  
When you resume from a suspend, you want your desktop session to be in 
the same state as you left it -- logged in, with all your applications 
the way you left them.  A logout will clear your current session and all 
session services, and force you to log in once again almost as if you 
rebooted your machine.  They are completely separate things.
