[Bug 870484] [NEW] Update notifier doesn't properly prompt when restarts are necessary

[James Pursey]

Public bug reported:

I have experienced this bug on two different computers. I have noticed
that when a system restart is necessary the user isn't notified until
the software center is launched. This morning a new kernel was
installed, and I thought it strange that I wasn't prompted to restart
the computer. However, the on/off button turned red the instant the
software center started. I had the same issue yesterday on a different
computer.
