The problem is we have people who have programs running sometimes for 2-3 
weeks, and they do not appreciate having their programs interrupted.
What happens now is I upgrade kde, or a script does, typically over the 
weekend. When people arrive monday morning they log out and find themselves 
not at a login screen but at a command prompt and I have not found any other 
way than a reboot out of this. 
I can't remember whether this also happens at the minor upgrades but maybe it 
does.
