Comments from the gnome-power-manager developers:
        
        No session application is expected to survive a bus restart.
        Your distro is broken wanting to restart it on upgrade. The
        upstream project maintainers do not want the system bus
        restarted on upgrade. Closing, sorry.

So we can't prevent etch's dbus package from stopping dbus when it's
prerm is run, fine... it's probably not a good idea to do that anyway.
But can we fix the lenny postinst while we still have a chance?

We can do what Ubuntu does, and display a notification area icon saying
"please log out and in again when you have a chance". Comments?
