Suspend to disk.

But anyway, I like the idea and your argument does not really defeat it=
.

Simply add a checkbox or something like that to the logout/shutdown dia=
logue:=20
"apply updates when logging out". If it is enabled by default users can=
=20
disable it per usecase.

Question is, if that checkbox is disabled should the updates be install=
ed when=20
starting-up or wait until the next logout?

Also, what if people never shut down but simply hibernate. Whatever too=
l used,=20
it must mediate that an update needs the logout. And since linux people=
 are=20
picky about their choices, it would have to offer to install them witho=
ut=20
logout as well. Apper can notify about "shutdown/logout needed" AFAIK, =
not=20
sure about other update frontends. Yet currently it only does it after =
updates=20
are applied not before.
