Bug Description

Why is restart requited after installation of proprietary graphic driver?
I have tried to log out and log in again bit the new graphic driver hasn't taken effect and Ubuntu still say that I shall restart.
Why can you just tell the user that he/she shall log out and in again? I don't think that more difficult than restarting.
On Linux systems you (normally) only need to restart when you update your kernel.
