Comment 50 for bug 1033226

I would also like to see a "close" button back on that dialog. Don't bother users with this persistent window polluting the desktop.

There used to be a nice "restart recommended" indicator before by making the gear icon in the indicator menu red and IMHO that was more than enough. Those who are worried about the security of their OS will restart and those who just want to get on with our work will be able to do so without additional windows getting in their way.

If the updater UX remains so aggressive, it will only result in people turning off automatic updates [1] completely, causing much more severe security risks.
