I changed the bug status back to "confirmed" (I didn't know that I can actually do that) because currently on Karmic there is no notification that any action is required - there isn't even an "OK" or "Close" button on the language selector!

Also notably in Karmic a reboot is only needed if the "For everyone at startup and login" language is changed, otherwise only a logout and login is needed.

Use case:
1. User wants to change their langauge
2. User accesses System->Administration->Language Support
3. User changes "For my menus and windows use:" menu to some other language
...? No obvious way is offered to continue

What currently happens is:
4. user closes the window
5. No change is apparent
6. Some times after that the user logs out
7. User logs in and the new language is active

What I expect to happen is:
4. User presses "Close" (or closes the window with the X button, though a "Close" button is a much better case)
5. A new message dialog appears that lets the user know if they need to logout (only "my menus and windows" changed) or reboot ("everyone at start and login" changed) and offers to take that action or continue normally and logout/restart later.
6. User either accepts a restart or logout from the dialog, or continues normally and restarts or logouts later
7. User logs back in and the new language is active.
