In my post near the start of the previous thread I gave an example of 
non-null output from the F14 version of needs-restarting.  I've just run 
that and the new version in succession, without having performed any 
update immediately beforehand.

The old version gave no output. The comment #12 version listed 7 
kde-related processes after a download that I didn't time but certainly 
lasted several tens of seconds.  Maybe the extra download wouldn't have 
been needed if I had used yum instead of smart to upgrade.

Thanks to both Joe and Seth for this.
