[Bug 797040] Re: update-manager shakes + wobbles in Unity Launcher before being ready

[Brendan Donegan]

Not sure if I entirely know what I'm talking about here, but update-
manager has an option called --no-focus-on-map which is not used by
default, which I take to mean that it does focus on map normally.

Title:
  update-manager shakes + wobbles in Unity Launcher before being ready

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  From time to time as it desires the Update Manager will automatically
  Launcher itself to provide the user with guidance that updates are
  available.

  When this happens under Unity with the Launcher hidden, the icon with
  wobble+bounce at the edge of the screen to catch their focus.  If the
  user then responds to the call-to-action and quickly opens the
  Launcher and clicks the icon, a greyed-out window will appear and the
  "Updating database…" progress bar will appear for a number of seconds.

  Ideally the user should only see the wobbling "call-to-attention" when
  update-manager has finished computing and the user is able to interact
  with Update-Manager.

  This is likely either a case of:

    Unity Launcher being over-excited about a new program appearing
    Update-Manager requesting attention
