KDE really just requires a session restart, not a full reboot (and only if 
you're actually running it while upgrading). If PackageKit now detects the 
need for a session start automatically, I guess we can rely on that in the 
future (but we'll need to get the sticky "requires reboot" flag cleared on 
all those packages in the Bodhi server, I think a lot of packages carry this 
by now due to how it spreads in grouped updates).
