[Bug 1088132] [NEW] update-manager: restart window cannot be closed

[Redmar]

Public bug reported:

After updating Ubuntu 12.10 today I was prompted to restart the computer
to complete the update (probably because of the kernel update). However,
it was not possible to dismiss the prompt and opt to restart later: the
window had no close button, and the only option was to restart.

One of the things I've always liked about ubuntu is the fact that the
user is in control. Unlike in windows, in ubuntu it was possible to
dismiss the update prompt and restart later if you wish to do so. I
therefore think it is a mistake to not allow users to determine
themselves when they wish to restart their computer.

I've attached a screenshot of the problem.
