[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#642044: Suggests reboot when restarting nm-applet would suffice

[Josh Triplett]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: normal

The changelog for network-manager-applet 0.9.0-2 says:

  * On upgrades tell update-notifier to show a reboot-required notification
    since older versions of nm-applet will no longer work with network-manager
    0.9 and need to be restarted.

If nm-applet needs restarting, couldn't it just re-exec itself rather
than suggesting a reboot of the entire system?  Killing and restarting
nm-applet worked perfectly, without requiring a reboot.

Please consider adding a mechanism to support rebootless upgrades.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
