I find it difficult for anyone to expect updates to complex interdependent 
running binaries to continue to function correctly while and after updates to 
them are applied. I always turn off automatic desktop updaters and update 
notifiers, usually exit X before applying updates, and when not, restart 
immediately after application completes, if not reboot the system.
