Title:
  software updater asking me to restart my computer, no way of closing
  dialog

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

Bug description:
  I ran updates today on my Quantal 12.10 dev box and I got a dialogue
  box that states:

  "Please restart the computer to begin using your updated software."

  and a restart button.  There is also a minimize button at the top of
  the dialogue box.

  I'm filing a bug because I think we should have the option to close
  this dialogue box - I either have to minimize it (and it hangs around)
  or reboot my machine (which I don't want to do right away).   I
  suspect that getting a kernel upgrade has triggered this request to
  start my computer.

  We really don't have to restart the computer right away and we are
  falling into a Windows like mentality here - "do your updates and
  reboot".  Please no, this is not a good idea.  Give us users a choice
  when to reboot, don't force it on us because we pulled in a kernel
  update.
