[Bug 1116050] [NEW] software-properties should force the user to reboot after installing nvidia/fglrx

[Timo Aaltonen]

Public bug reported:

After changing the display driver the system has to be rebooted before X
can work again. A logout will end up with a crashed/malfunctioning
xserver and a bugreport that will just confuse the triager and waste
resources.

The dialog has to warn/force the user to reboot in order to avoid that.
