Please don't close this bugreport - current implementation is really bad way on multi-user systems and no other nautilus extensions (except dead 6-years old nautilus-compare) uses this approach. When I install nautilus-admin package on multi-user system (where reboots are very rare), then *all users* gets this misleading warning *at first login* after installation: "The file manager must be restarted in order to start the Nautilus Admin extension." Users shouldn't see such dialog at login, because nautilus-admin extension works fine right after login (there was no nautilus process for that user at installation time), so, no need to restart nautilus!

Average users doesn't have administration rights and doesn't have ability to install deb packages :) This dialog should be displayed *only for user, who install this package*, not for every user in operating system. User's should not be disturbed about installed nautilus extensions, *this info is useful only for system administrator* - only for 1 user, who installs this package, so, please use debconf in debian/postinst or put this info in package's description or /usr/share/doc/nautilus-admin/README.Debian Prompting "every" user instead of system administrator violates Debian policy, see www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-maintscriptprompt Prompting must be done by *communicating through a program, such as *debconf*, which conforms to the Debian Configuration Management Specification, version 2 or higher.
