[Bug 1182786] [NEW] Software updater icon is confusing

[Kevin Hughes]

Public bug reported:

The icon which pops up on the launcher for the software updater when
there are updates available includes a picture of a progress bar. This
has led me to believe that it is "doing something" and doesn't need
attention.

But it's not a progress bar, it's just a picture and it's waiting for me
to click on it and tell it to install updates, which then puts a real
progress bar over the "fake" one. I think this is somewhat confusing,
and the "fake" progress bar should be removed from the icon.

The same could go for the Software Centre, but I've never personally
found this one confusing.
