Title:
  "Failed to download repository information" alert is unattractive

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

Bug description:
  update-manager 1:0.174.4, Ubuntu 12.10

  In some situations (e.g. bug 888845, bug 1097073), a "Failed to
  download repository information" alert appears.

  This alert is unattractive in several ways:
  a. it is maximizable
  b. the title is "update-manager", all lower-case
  c. the primary text is not a complete sentence
  d. it uses the word "repository"
  e. the secondary text is "Check your Internet connection", when that usually is not the problem
  f. it has a "Close" button.

  This needs redesigning.
