In Ubuntu, this has no effect. As far as I know, this logout
dialog comes from gnome-power-manager. I think so, as the
available options on this dialog can be controlled in gconf
with the key apps/gnome-power-manager.

Yes. In Ubuntu, the actions are controlled by the
/usr/sbin/pmi script; pmi comes from what they call "powermanagement-interface".
Such a package doesn't exist in Gentoo, it seems. According
to the "Portage File Search" on http://www.rommel.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~fejf/pfs/
no package provides /usr/sbin/pmi.

And all of that is also somehow controlled by hal.
