Title:
  In KDE/kdm, Software Center Freezes When Changing Ubuntu Updates
  Notification Setting

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After changing my window manager to kdm and using KDE, the Software
  Center freezes for up to 10 seconds when changing the setting "Notify
  me of a new Ubuntu version" and before authentication.

  Steps to replicate:

  1. Using kdm/KDE, open the Ubuntu Software Center.

  2. Go to Edit > Software Sources.

  3. Choose Updates, then click on the drop-down menu next to "Notify me
  of a new Ubuntu version," and choose a new setting.

  4. An authentication dialog will appear, but the dialog, application
  and window manager will freeze for up to 10 seconds. No typing will
  work during this time, and mouse clicks anywhere within the window
  manager will not work.
