If it's telling you you have to reboot, then it probably is. Some things like the kernel or glibc you just can't logout-and-login to be running the new code. It's a choice in bodhi the packager chooses, which we pass on as a hint to the user. If it's telling you you have to log out and back in, it's because it's replaced an executable file that is running in your session like gimp or gnome-session. The only way to run the "new" code is to stop the process and start it again.
