Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Ubuntu Feisty
Install a set of updates that requires a restart.
What happens: A yellow bubble appears. "System restart required - To
complete the update of your system, restart your system. Click on the
notification icon to restart your system."
What's wrong with this:
* it's very repetitious (system your system your system your system)
* the computer might not actually be yours :-)
* "notification icon" is geek jargon
* clicking on the icon doesn't even restart the system, it brings up an alert
inviting you to!
I suggest: Instead of having a bubble pointing to an icon which you
click on to open an alert containing a button to restart the computer
... get rid of the icon and the bubble, and just open the alert in the
first place. Open it unfocused and behind all other windows, so that
it's not an interruption; but have it request attention, so that its
window-switcher button throbs.
That would achieve the same effect as the notification bubble, but would
have simpler code, be less annoying, and be quicker to use.
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)

"System restart required" bubble is unnecessary, just use the alert
