Title:
  On/off button no longer goes red to indicate that a restart is
  necessary

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have noticed that after an update, if it is necessary to restart the
  computer the on/off button no longer changes colour. This means that
  the user has nothing to indicate that this is necessary until (s)he
  switches off the computer (when the message appears in the system
  menu). This could lead to people running outdated and maybe insecure
  kernels for long periods of times, which is why I have signaled this
  as a possible security issue.
