Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: normal

The changelog for network-manager-applet 0.9.0-2 says:

  * On upgrades tell update-notifier to show a reboot-required notification
    since older versions of nm-applet will no longer work with network-manager
    0.9 and need to be restarted.

If nm-applet needs restarting, couldn't it just re-exec itself rather
than suggesting a reboot of the entire system?  Killing and restarting
nm-applet worked perfectly, without requiring a reboot.

Please consider adding a mechanism to support rebootless upgrades.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett

We no longer trigger a reboot notification via update-notifier.
There is obviously no mechanism to restart processes within a user
session, but afair, for a long time now there hasn't been a need to
reexec nm-applet due to incompatibilites.

At this point, I think it's best to simply close this bug report.

Regards,
Michael
