Hello Brian,

This issue also manifests via accidental clicking (you're about to click in a regular application window, then the dialog pops up, with the "Restart Now" button right under the pointer). Changing the default focus only addresses accidental rebooting via keyboard---and even then, will fail if the user is entering a specific arrow + Enter key sequence.

Could you have the "Restart Now" button start a thirty-second countdown, like the regular restart dialog does? Not only would this better help avoid accidental rebooting, it would be consistent behavior.

(If the "Restarting in NN seconds" dialog has a shortcut button, as some users will no doubt want, it should probably be greyed out for the first few seconds of the countdown, so that a spurious double-click doesn't cause trouble.)
