Bug Description

I ran updates this morning when I came into work. The system prompted me to restart. I've got work to do and can restart when I leave, but when I choose "Restart Later" it keeps popping up bugging me again. I understand that a restart is needed to apply all updates, but I don't need to be annoyed by it. My computer will be just fine until I get around to rebooting.

The constant reminder to reboot is the same often-hated feature Windows users have to deal with. Please respect the users wishes.

How often do you see the notification? I was unable to recreate this after installing the linux kernel update for trusty and waiting a couple of hours.

Running 'apport-collect 1316257' would be useful here as it will attach gsettings information for update-manager.

This happened to me when running Gnome Shell. Could it be specific to Gnome Shell?
