It is not supposed to reboot, you should do that manually. Actually, you don't have to reboot, logoff/logon is enough. If you would like to automate the process, refer to prime-indicator package. Instalation guide can be found on the following link (valid on March 19, 2015): http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/prime-indicator-lets-you-quickly-switch.html .
