System-related communications should present in the upper-right corner
at the indicators. The indicators exist as an interface layer between
the System and the User.
Application-related communications should present at the Launcher.
The requirement that the computer be rebooted is a System-related event;
therefore, the communication that this event is needed needs to present
at the indicators--not the Launcher, and not some ephemeral popup.
If an Application needs to be restarted, then the appropriate
communication location would be at the Launcher or within the
Application itself.
The ONLY instance where a popup should be used is in situations where an
IMMEDIATE response is needed to proceed: for example, the user is trying
to access something that requires a password. A prompt pops up to allow
entering the password.
