The 'restart required' icon seems to appear much too often for my liking. Worse yet, it doesn't even tell you what package is it that requires restart or have a GUI option to remove the reminder or remind later. Also, to my understanding a kernel upgrade is the only thing that _requires_ restart. It should be 'recommended', explain why and still not appear as often as it does -- I'm not running Windows and I certainly don't want a clone.
