Bug Description
When updating to 12.04 LTS from Oneiric, the update-manager process prompts to restart KDM. The problem is that it actually restarts the whole X server, interrupting the update process. The only way to work around the issue is to finish the installation manually, with aptitude for example.

Note that I could reproduce the issue on 2 different computers :
- A Dell Inspiron 1525 (C2Duo, Intel GMA X3100)
- An Athlon XP 1800+ computer, with a GeForce FX 5600.
All the computers were running KDE started from KDM, but one update was done using Unity desktop while the other one was using KDE. The error occurs after we're prompted to restart KDM after libc6 update.
