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.
