Title:
  Power-Cog should turn red when restart is need to complete updates

Status in indicator-session package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  To inform the user that his/her action is needed to accomplish some
  task relating to the Operating System (as opposed to an application),
  the Power-Cog should turn red and a red highlight should color the
  entry in the menu that requires action.

  Restarting the OS to complete the installation of updates is such an
  event. The power-cog turning red alerts the user's attention to the
  event. And when the user clicks the red Power-Cog icon, an entry
  should exist that reads: "restart to complete updates"

  The current method of popping up a window does NOT provide a
  persistent state of notice and often results in the user forgetting to
  restart when an opportune time exists to do such a thing. It also
  breaks the logical connection and Unity-design of displaying system
  related events in the Upper-Right corner of the top-panel. "Restart"
  and  "Shutdown" are items in the power-cog menu and this is the
  intuitive place for users to take action on such an event.
