The Jaluino schematic will work, mostly but is inherently flawed.

On my schematic holding reset doesn't affect the programmer.VPP/VPP on
pin1 of ICSP. On Jaluino it shorts out the vpp supply. That could
damage some programmers.

On the Jaluino the VPP (+13V nominal) feeds the "reset" signal line.
On my schematic, you can use junction of RC and push button for other
devices and it's never more than VCC/VDD, Never the +10V to +15V
possible from VPP (should be 12.5 to 13V)

There is no capacitor on the Reset on the Jaluino, so not all devices
will reset reliably, of course many PIC will, especially if power up
timer is enabled.

My circuit is more reliable slower delayed reset (tiime constant R2,
C6) , yet re-enabled via D2 if a short glitch on power, so devices
properly reset. Also isolated from VPP by D1, (or D2 would short VPP
to VDD) and isolated from other devices using the reset. Ideally
separate devices should have their own D2, R2 and C6 (my GLCD KS0108
does), and then if you want a common reset button, connect all resets
to common point by 1N4148 diodes pointing at reset switch.

For really really reliable you can get a dedicated IC that monitors
PSU, has reset button, has capacitor for time constant, has brown out
detector (resistor sets limit) and both active high *and* active low
Reset/Enable signals. Some versions even have separates VCC/VDD
switching and lithium coin cell input as well as PSU input, so you can
reliably isolate power for RTC and avoid resets on selected devices
etc.
