This wasn't necessarily about security updates, but any update that
requires a restart. For example, all kernel updates require a restart,
even if they are not security updates. Most security updates don't
require a full restart of the system, as they only require individual
services to be restarted.

Really, most times when a user updates, the installation of the updates
will require at least a log out/in of the user's session, as core
components of the session or libraries they use, are very often included
in the list of updated packages.

There probably isn't a good way to distinguish between session restart,
and system restart, in these cases though, so a system restart being
recommended would take care of both cases.

Title:
  Session (gear) indicator not changing to red when restart required

Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I just installed a set of updates, which included the kernel. After
  the updates were installed, update-manager showed me the dialog
  stating that a restart was required, but the session indicator did not
  change at all. It was not red, and there is not "restart required"
  type of item in the menu. It used to always do this, and no longer
  does.

  Also, the kernel updates were listed in update-manager as "security"
  updates, but the session indicator had not turned red to indicate they
  needed to be installed. I thought it was supposed to turn red and add
  an "Updates required" menu item in such a situation, as well.
