With the original approach I could just imagine someone showing off their Ubuntu desktop to a friend only to have update manager pop up right on top of it, and then the person has to embarrassingly explain that it automatically pops up like that from time to time. It also isn't going to pop up just as you try to take a screenshot of something, and you aren't going to come back to a desktop after inactivity with new windows that can throw you off. > It only strengthens the feeling in the user that an > application was launched by mistake...

At least I am assuming this as Mark mentioned it originally, can anyone confirm or deny that the minimized window requests attention? -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
