Robert, yes, the ellipsis is because it opens a dialog. The restart dialog should show the equivalent of the shutdown dialog: "Are you sure you want to close all programs and restart the computer?"
Remember that the menu item is not the only UI element that triggers this dialog: it's also invoked by Software Updater after updates that require a restart, and by the "Additional Drivers" tab of Software & Updates settings when you make driver changes. So just removing the menu item wouldn't remove the need for a Restart dialog to exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Session Menu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156566 Title: "Restart" is missing from the system menu Status in The Session Menu: Triaged Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Problem occurs in: indicator-session 12.10.5daily13.03.08-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu R Does not occur in: Ubuntu 12.10 1. Open the system menu. What you see: "Log Out...", "Suspend", and "Shut Down..." items. What you should see: A "Restart..." item between "Suspend" and "Shut Down...". <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemMenu> This is a regression of bug 815077. In 2011 we thought it might be a good idea to demote "Restart" to an extra button in the "Shut Down" dialog, but we were wrong. So we moved it back to a top-level item in the system menu.
