[Bug 70262] Re: inconsistent user experience--orange button doesn't feel like a button

Is this still an issue with Oneiric, the latest Ubuntu release? Update
notifier has been ported to indicators, so when clicking the update
notifier, the indicator menu should appear instantly, so I think this
could be set to either Invalid or Fix Released.

Title:
  inconsistent user experience--orange button doesn't feel like a button

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  When a user clicks on the orange update-notifier button on the panel,
  the "button" ought to exhibit button-like behavior.  More
  specifically, the orange button should depress when clicked, and
  return to normal when mouse button is released.

  The current behavior of the update-notifier button is inconsistent
  because surrounding buttons, such as the logout button (the door
  icon), the volume button, and the date/time button all give
  *immediate* feedback when clicked (whether it's depressing itself,
  calling another window immediately, etc.).  The orange update-notifier
  button, however, can take as long as two whole seconds to respond
  after being clicked on a slow computer.  I have been confused in the
  past whether the button requires a single or double-click to work, and
  as a result several windows were called up at the same time two
  seconds later because I clicked too many times.

  This problem can probably be remedied by giving the user immediate
  feedback that his/her click actually *did* something, such as
  depressing the orange button.
