Bug Description

[Test Case]
This needs to happen on a Xubuntu system
1) In a terminal run "sudo touch /var/run/reboot-required"
2) Run update-manager (if updates are available install them)
3) Click the reboot button in update-manager

With the package from saucy-proposed the Xubuntu system should actually reboot.

[Regression Potential]
Little as this just adds a new code path for rebooting (as a last resort) for Xubuntu.

Update manager reports updates available.

Install updates - supply password as required.

After updates complete, restart required.

Press button - nothing happens.

As of now update-manager does only support restarting via gnome-session-manager and consolekit (fallback). However, Xubuntu 13.10 does not ship with consolekit anymore, so support for restarting via logind needs to be added.

A system restart can be requested manually by running "sudo touch /run/reboot-required" and relaunching update-manager.
