Isn't there gdm-restart for that purpose? I don't really know, but I'm just
confused as to why a program that lets me login requires a reboot...
I *really* don't want to sound whiny or anything like that, or be one of
those that compare us to windows... but one of my favorite things from years
ago was that I only had to reboot with a new kernel. Now I feel like I reboot
every update. I mean, even the ibus stuff was stating I needed a reboot. As
far as I know that is used for alternative language input, which I don't use,
fair enough it doesn't know that. But what about it needs a reboot?
I'm also curious why gdm is still running once I've logged in. I see the
user-switch stuff but I'm just wondering. I mean rebooting isn't the end of
the world but man it sure happens a lot now
I don't have a good answer. You might want to ask on the
fedora-desktop-list and/or in a bug for that component. I was just trying
to explain the specific behavior you saw.
Now, having said that - how would you feel if the updater stopped you
before it ran and said "you're running an app I'm trying to update, please
close the app so I can update it". Would that be a pain or ok?
