[Bug 779382] Re: update-notifier not visible under unity

[Sebastien Bacher]

One way to do it would be to restrict the new codepath to unity,
checking XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity (which gnome-session sets to this
value for unity and unity-2d sessions), in other patches we use that
variable already to display unity specific uis and fallbacking to the
current code in non-Unity session

The changes are non trivial though so we should probably go with a SRU
which let extra margins for testing and is less risky, the current
whitelisting solution hit an unity rendering issue but that should be
fixed in an unity SRU and only affect users who tweaked their config, no
the default installation

  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  Hi,

  although there is a running update-notifier process, I don't see any
  indication of available new packages or security updates when using
  the new unity desktop.

  regards
