[Bug 909990] [NEW] Update-manager -d bails out with "cannot capture mouse"

[ginnyh532]

Public bug reported:

I am running Oneiric and trying to upgrade to Precise.  When I run
update-manager -d I expect it to go ahead and upgrade my computer.
What I get instead is a window telling me that it cannot capture my
mouse.  (I forget the exact wording.)

Here are the error messages I got when I last tried to run update-
manager -d:

update-manager -d
