Title:
  software-properties should force the user to reboot after installing
  nvidia/fglrx

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
