[Bug 1061469] Re: Update icon and notification disappear after a few seconds when updates are downloaded automatically

[Glenn Brumfield]

Happens in Xubuntu 12.04 whenever an auto-update is available. Icon &
notification bubble appear, display for about 20 - 30 seconds then
disappear. After about 5 minutes, icon & notification reappear then
notification times out leaving icon in taskbar.

Title:
  Update icon and notification disappear after a few seconds when
  updates are downloaded automatically

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

Bug description:
  On Xubuntu 12.10, when updates are found automatically, the update-
  notifier icon is shown in the indicator applet, and a notification
  bubble pops up with xfce4-notifyd. However, both disappear after a few
  seconds, so unless you're monitoring your computer all the time, the
  updates can easily go unnoticed.

  Removing the indicator applet (and thus using the regular notification
  area) makes no difference. I haven't tested this on Ubuntu yet,
  though.
