Bug Description
This bug is against Lubuntu 16.04 specifically.
SCENARIO
A user starts update-manager when updates have already been applied which require a system restart. A dialog titled "Software Updater" appears, with text "The computer needs to restart to finish installing updates", with buttons for "Settings...", "Restart Later" and "Restart Now..."
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
If the user selects "Restart Later," update-manager exits with no further interaction. This can be confusing as it's unclear whether the program is doing something without feedback or has crashed.
WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN
I expect to be aware that selecting "Restart Later" will cause update-manager to exit.
SUGGESTION
Reword "Restart Later" to "Cancel" or "Exit."

I think "Remind me later" would be a better way to write this.
