Well, when waking from sleep this means you're about to use the
computer. Windows already does that and every time I postpone the
restart anyway. Couldn't Ubuntu just restart programs and services which
needs update anyway? The only reason for a reboot would be a local
exploit which most desktop user don't care about. For everything else,
just asking to restart the software like Firefox does would be enough
and for background services they can mostly all be restart. So I'm still
in favor of just changing the system's menu color.

Title:
  No close option, only restart

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

Bug description:
  The latest updates to "software updater" in 12.10 has only given one
  option in the pop up after installing updates and that is to restart,
  where is my restart later or close option?

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Launching_automatically>:
  "Software Updater should launch automatically ... when ... security
  updates require a restart to finish installing, and it has been at
  least 24 hours since you were told about this; or ... non-security
  updates require a restart to finish installing, and the “When there
  are other updates” interval has passed since Software Updater was last
  open (either automatically or manually)."

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#restart>: "If no updates are
  installable, but a restart is required to finish installing previous
  updates, a “Software Updater” alert should appear, with text “This
  computer needs to restart to finish installing updates”, and
  “Settings…”, “Restart Later” and “Restart Now…” buttons."

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#alert>: "If appropriate, the
  alert should have secondary text: “The computer also needs to restart
  to finish installing previous updates.”"

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#After_installing>: "After
  installing, Software Updater should behave as if it has just finished
  a manual check for updates ... whether it be showing updates that
  remain uninstallable, showing that a restart is required, showing both
  at once, or showing that everything is up to date."
