Robert, yes, the ellipsis is because it opens a dialog. The restart
dialog should show the equivalent of the shutdown dialog: "Are you sure
you want to close all programs and restart the computer?"

Remember that the menu item is not the only UI element that triggers
this dialog: it's also invoked by Software Updater after updates that
require a restart, and by the "Additional Drivers" tab of Software &
Updates settings when you make driver changes. So just removing the menu
item wouldn't remove the need for a Restart dialog to exist.

Title:
  "Restart" is missing from the system menu

Status in The Session Menu:
  Triaged
Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Problem occurs in: indicator-session 12.10.5daily13.03.08-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu R
  Does not occur in: Ubuntu 12.10

  1. Open the system menu.

  What you see: "Log Out...", "Suspend", and "Shut Down..." items.

  What you should see: A "Restart..." item between "Suspend" and "Shut Down...".

  This is a regression of bug 815077. In 2011 we thought it might be a
  good idea to demote "Restart" to an extra button in the "Shut Down"
  dialog, but we were wrong. So we moved it back to a top-level item in
  the system menu.
