Title:
  Too easy to accidentally restart computer when 'restart to complete
  update' box pop up

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-manager source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I was typing an email whilst an update was in progress, and when the
  'restart to complete update' box popped up, I accidentally restarted
  my computer. I'm not sure whether this took one or two taps of the
  spacebar, but happened from me simply continuing to type for a second
  or so when the box popped up.

  If the box is to grab focus regardless of what the user is doing, then
  it needs to *not* have the 'restart now' button focused and ready for
  an enter key or spacebar.

  It would be better if no button had focus, so that an actual click was
  required to take action.

  What I expected to happen: Nothing, ideally. It's ok if my typing is
  interrupted, but nothing else should happen if I'm in the middle of
  typing when the box pops up.

  What happened: My computer restarted.

  Ubuntu version: 14.04
