Hmmm. My post has been moved to a different forum, & its subject altered from what i originally wrote. Both editorial moderation actions have altered my deliberately intended central query. My thread has become detoured into a narrow focus only on Cairo-Dock, which was not my intention.
Hence i'll now ask again, explicitly. Is there anything innate within Ubuntu 16.04, including but not necessarily its change to systemd, that now necessitates system restarts after installing "ordinary" [non-kernel] updates?
If the answer by knowledgeable people [& i am clearly NOT knowledgeable] is "No", then the logical conclusion i must draw is that i have unluckily discovered TWO separate unrelated bugs; [1] the Cairo-Dock "Logout" applet, AND [2] Kubuntu's kubuntu-notification-helper. Whilst i'm entirely happy to accept both propositions if advised, i would remark that this outcome would challenge the general Ockham’s Razor principle.
