I think we need to tweak these a little. Primarily, we are mixing up two
different use cases: one where updates that require a restart HAVE BEEN
installed, and one where there are updates AVAILABLE to install. We said
that, for 9.04, we could only hope to address the former. For 9.10, we
could also address the case where updates are available for install and
we want to give the user the option to do that on session termination.

I'll just address the first use case (the 9.04 one) below.

Log out:
Let's start with the reassuring statement that you are going to get what you 
want, THEN offer the opportunity to "apply updates and restart instead". So, I 
would say:

=========== Log out ====================

Unless you cancel, you will be logged out in 60 seconds.

You recently installed updates which will only take effect after a
restart. Consider restarting the computer instead.

[Restart]                       [Cancel] [Log out]

====================================

In the simpler case, where no restart-required updates have been
installed, I would just leave off the sentence about restarting, and of
course the restart button as well. Note that I've deliberately left out
the "Are you sure..." sentence. After thinking about it, it seemed only
to make the dialog longer and less likely to be read. We'll do what they
said in 60 seconds any way, the obvious point of the dialog is as a
confirmation, we don't need to ask it.

Restart, Shut down:
I'm tempted to ask that we remove the "Are you sure..." sentences here as well. 
MPT?
