Karl, you shouldn't need to reboot due to updates, unless you've changed
the kernel and want to use the newly installed one immediately.

Everything else should at most require a start/stop script or login/logout
when X / gdm / ... has been updates. Of course, a reboot subsumes all that.

To Wade: No thunderbird probs with the update on 64bit.

(though I'm maybe 40 days late with an kernel-upgrade-related reboot -
not  much  of  a  concern,  as  this  box  is  neither  firewall   nor
media-"endangered").
