[Solved] - Cairo Dock suggests frequent reboot after many package updates

[kdemeoz]

OK, thank you, i guess that makes sense... but it then leads to a different inference, which is the polar-opposite of my initial thought. It might be that after all, the CD applet behaviour, & Kubuntu's Notifier, might not be the nuisances i imagined but instead a pretty important function. In contrast, Maui doesn't tell me, unless [armed with my new learning via your help above] i make it a regular habit to inspect reboot-required.pkgs after each Update Manager cycle. Or, i could simply continue using that CD applet, but start to actually believe what it tells me from now on. Interesting.

PS - I just checked in Synaptic, & saw that kubuntu-notification-helper is available for installation. Would that be a good or bad thing to do?
