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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1156566 Title: "Restart" is missing from the system menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/1156566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
