[Bug 1246364] Re: update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu 13.10

[Adrianna Pińska]

This affects me on Fluxbox. I unset the auto_launch option a long time
ago, because I find the popups extremely intrusive and annoying (but I
do still find it useful to get a more subtle notification in the tray).

I think the volume of online HOWTOs explaining how to disable this
behaviour (sometimes through extreme measures like disabling update
notifications altogether or uninstalling the package) is a testament to
its unpopularity.

I have installed the patched version from the PPA and can confirm that
it restores the expected behaviour for me.

  update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu 13.10

Bug description:
  update-notifier does not show a tray icon/notification in xubuntu 13.10 anymore. Instead the software updater window appears minimized, when updates are available.
  Additionally I tried to trigger the 'System Restart Required'-notification manually by adapting /var/run/reboot-required, but no notification was displayed (although it shows up in motd).
  As a side note: I got a 'there is something wrong with updates'-notification by removing update-notifier-common while update-notifier was running.
