Bug Description
The colour of the panel icon changes to red if a system restart is required (i.e. due to a kernel update).
Actually it changes to red as soon as the file '/var/run/
In my opinion it should check whether the update-manager is still working, because of two reasons:
1. some users use automatic security updates and don't see if there are things to be installed after the icon changed
2. the user might be busy and is not following the update-manager.
Both cases could lead to a user-enforced reboot before the actual update is finished.
This could leave the package system in an inconsistent state where no further updates are possible without manual intervention.
I brought up this issue because I think this is a real game-breaker and could possibly kill the update management of Ubuntu.
Please consider the request or convince me that I'm not right. ;)
