the System and the User.
Application-related communications should present at the Launcher.
The requirement that the computer be rebooted is a
Thanks for taking an interest in the design of the Ubuntu user
interface, but even if the Ubuntu design team hadn't already declared
this issue closed, it is still not an issue of the Unity shell but of
the Session Menu. Reverting for a status of 'Invalid' for the Unity

You correctly allude to the fact that when a package update requires
restart, you need to do two things: (A) install the update and (B)
restart. As long as you haven't done both, you're just as badly off (for
