Funny; the change is that that checkbox is not the one with focus anymore, so
now pressing enter or space as soon as you enter the dialog means that you 
cancel the logout; before it meant that you toggled the checkbox.
Logging out in both cases meant to click the button or press ALT-L

Logout is quite a desctructive action; please don't make that default.

If you want a simple logout, just adjust your settings to don't show the dialog
in the first place.
