Title:
  Feature and What's New carousels do not start transition cycle on
  launch

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  The Feature and What's New carousels should begin their timed
  transition cycle automatically on launch, but instead they simply sit
  at the same static set of packages indefinitely. The transition cycle
  can be initiated only by selecting one of the paging dots.

  TEST CASE for SRU:
  1. Launch the current version of Software Center in Natty (4.0.1 or 4.0.2).
  2. Observe the Featured and What's New carousels for about 30 seconds and not that they remain unchanged and never automatically transition to the next group of packages.
  3. Update to Software Center 4.0.3 in natty-proposed.
  4. Launch Software Center version 4.0.3 and again observe the Featured and What's New carousels.
  5. Verify that the Featured carousel transitions (with a fade-out and fade-in) after about 15 seconds, and the What's New carousel transitions about 5 seconds after that. Verify that the transitions continue from this point.
