This should only happen if https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10847 happens

Thanks for your bugreport.

I'm not sure that it should reload automatically. It's a potential lengthy
operation and it may require the user to connect to the internet first. But this
(that there is no way to request a network connection from a application) is
probably a seperate problem.

Cheers,
Michael

This will really only work if bug 17138 (preform operations in the background)
get implemented. Thus I have marked this bug as depending on that one.
