Bug Description
I installed nautilus-dropbox from the software center. During installation it put up a dialog that gives the user 2 options to proceed: "Restart Nautilus" and "Next". It's not clear which one the user should choose. I think the desired behavior is that the user chooses "Restart Nautilus" and then chooses "Next", but that is not clear. Furthermore, when you press the "Restart Nautilus" button, there is no feedback to the user that anything happens.
For a better user experience, consider 2 buttons in that dialog: "Restart Nautilus" and "Skip Restart". When pressed, both buttons should take the user to the next screen ("Dropbox Start Required"). The "Restart Nautilus" button should also restart nautilus, as it currently does.

Adding an update-notifier task since there isn't a way to hide the Next button in the restart dialog.
