When auto updates send the WALL to all users about a reboot fim stops displaying correctly until its restarted.

Need to turn off notifications to the consoles in apt auto update/upgrade configs.

The unattended-upgrade package calls the shutdown command without the --no-wall option which means no matter what users will get a wall which craps up fim.

The only way to work around this is to patch the unattended-upgrade command or somehow make it so shutdown never calls wall.

Neither is a good option so we're marking this as wontfix because there is really nothing we can do.

The good news is after a reboot things go back to normal.
