 It seems to me that the needs_restart boolean should only ever be changed
 to True (until the next time the module is reinitialized, of course).
 Several of them currently set this flag to False when they encounter an
 error adjusting the setting, which could inadvertently unset the flag even
 though other settings still require it.

 Simon, was there any specific reason for the current behavior? I'll attach
 a patch for this shortly.
