To be more clear, it ASKS if you want to restart them. If you don't, you can hit "n" to skip restarting it. For example, if you are in Konsole running the command and it wants to restart the GUI, which would kill your Konsole session and anything else not saved, then you can say no and move on. Later on, you can logout and restart or whatever. Main point tho, it only asks you if you want to. It doesn't blindly do it. Dale :-) :-)
