Thanks for the suggestion, Alex. Even better would be for this to happen
for all applications that install/update/remove software asynchronously,
not just for Ubuntu Software Center. So, I've updated the design spec
for aptdaemon.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations?action=diff&rev2=31&rev1=30>
** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
Status: In Progress => Triaged
** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned)
** Description changed:
If a user closes the software-center interface while operations are
still in progress, a notification should be shown when all operations
are completed.
However, if the window has not been closed, a notification is not needed
and should not be shown.
- Installing:
- * single package: Show "[Title]<Package name> has finished
installing[body]Launch it from the Application > <Category> menu" with the
software-center icon, or possibly the application's icon. I think that the
software-center icon would be useful in helping the user understand where the
notification is coming from, but the application icon may also be useful. This
should be discussed before implementation
-
- * multiple packages: Show "[Title]Your software has finished
- installing" notification with software-center-icon.
-
- Removal doesn't really need notifications because once software is
- removed, you don't need to interact with it so you won't be waiting for
- any process to complete.
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations#general>: "10. If the
+ requesting program is no longer running (for example, Ubuntu Software
+ Center which has since been closed), a notification bubble should
+ appear. The icon should be that of the software item. The title should
+ be of the form 'Installation complete', 'Reinstallation complete',
+ 'Update complete', 'Removal complete', or 'Purge complete'. And the body
+ text should be the item title."

window is in the background.
