Press Alt and click your username.

 From some days the menu ends with the line suspend, while in the past
(and still for the other users) I had to more lines: restart and
shutdown.

Difference between Gnome 3 and Classic AFAIK.

Hi,

You can install gnome-shell-extensions and you should have the power off
option available.

Hi,

This page gives you the bare bones of what needs to be done:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Extensions

In short you need to do two things:
1. Install the extensions system-wide or per user
2. Enable the extensions

Step 1. Install the extension system-wide or per user:
If system wide then they need to be copied to the folders:
 /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and
 /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/extensions.

If per user then in folder:
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

The name of the folder is the extension name that you'll use in the next step.

Step 2.
Enable it. Enabling involves using gsettings like so:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions "['<name of folder>','<name of folder>']"
So on my machine, it is:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions "['ext-helper@amanda.darkdna.net', 'dock@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com']"

Hope this helps!
Kailash
