Oh no, there's nothing in the visual design that was intended to prevent
showing more than three actions. There may be other reasons (not strictly
related to the visual design) to not show all five of these specific
actions (logout, reboot, shutdown, suspend, hibernate). But my own thought
is I'm not sure we need to solve that right away. For now  it might be
enough consider perhaps an overflow menu button on the far right which pops
a menu containing actions for which you don't want to show an icon. Sort of
like this:

Hope this helps,
Andrew
