Right, You currently get the RestartRequired method with the type of
restart on the Transaction interface:

http://www.packagekit.org/gtk-doc/Transaction.html#Transaction::RequireRestart

As you're on the Transaction interface, you'll have the DBUS path (the
transaction_id) and then you can call GetRole() on that path. This gives
you the sort of action (e.g. UpdateSystem, RemovePackages) that you can
put in any UI. That should do what you need.
