Bug Description

This may need to be assigned elsewhere, but this is as close as I could guess. I just installed a proprietary driver via jockey. After installing the driver successfully, Jockey says I need to restart my system to complete the installation. Fair enough, I did just install a new driver, so a reboot is in order.

However, when I click the power menu, lo and behold there is no reboot option. There's simply suspend, hibernate and shut down.

Now I may be crazy, but it seems to me that a soft reboot is not an undesirable thing, and from a user perspective, it's annoying if I have to shut down my system completely and power it back on, when a simple soft reboot works just as well and doesn't require my interaction.
