In all wiki pages, it should be a link to the reboot page which explains 
the ways to do it.  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Adobe_Flash#Installation 
has the [[reboot] link.  I think we should do the opposite and change 
all pages to say "restart your XO" while linking to that page.

That sounds like something I saw in "Re: Please help test our new 8.2.0 
weekly beta, joyride-2301!", Deepak Saxena responded:

That's one of many irritating yet benign messages that show up.
IMO they ought to be fixed, they're a real disincentive to everyone who 
peeks under the covers and discovers an error message, only to learn 
programmers have determined it's not relevant.  I filed trac 8833.
