[Bug 925260] Re: Update Manager icon appears on the launcher when updates are available, clicking on it does not bring up the update-manager.

[Todd Wilson]

This seems to have been reported all over the place.  I first commented
on it in connection with Bug #1000500 for 12.10, which was later marked
a duplicate of this bug, and have seen it elsewhere too.  My report
mentioned that I had experienced it "for a few releases now," and some
here are also saying it goes back to 11.04.  Well, like marcenuc, I can
confirm that it's still happening for me now in 13.10, which I why I was
led to search for it again and make this report.  Should we take odds on
for how many more releases it will persist? Like osmo-laitinen, I'd like
to help fix this.  Could it have anything to do with the --no-focus-on-
map option it is launched with?  Any experiments to suggest that might
help locate the problem?

Title:
  Update Manager icon appears on the launcher when updates are
  available, clicking on it does not bring up the update-manager.

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

Bug description:
  My Update Manager in 11.10 never opens correctly, unless I am in GNOME3 instead of Unity. When new updates appear, the icon shows on the dash, but the window never opens when I click on it. I can right-click and say "Install Updates" or "Check for Updates," which is all good because it does what it is supposed to with those two features, but it gets really annoying because I cannot choose which updates to not install! Please fix this problem ASAP!
  The same problem appears every time I reinstall Ubuntu 11.10 on this machine, but the Update Manager works fine on every other 11.10 machine I use. It is very frustrating.
