Greg, there are two misunderstandings here. First, it is not always true that "The power-cog is where users go to shutdown/restart their computer". Some people only ever put their computer to sleep and wake it up again, by closing and opening the lid; they don't shut down or restart unless explicitly prompted, so futzing with the cog icon would be meaningless to them. Second, it is not correct that "the user needs to go to the Power-Cog to accomplish" the restart. There's a much more obvious "Restart Now" button in the restart-required alert. If Software Updater is crashing somehow before it displays that alert on your parents' computer, please report that as a separate bug. Thanks!
