Title:
  Can't launch update-manager from Unity sidebar

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

Bug description:
  I originally asked a question on Ask Ubuntu:

  http://askubuntu.com/questions/521576/cant-launch-software-updater-
  from-toolbar

  But now I believe it's a bug.

  Launching the Software Updater from the sidebar does not respond to
  clicks.  It shows up when I hit `Alt-Tab` but t won't bring up the
  window when I switch to it and it is nowhere to be found on any of my
  desktops. I can also see `update-manager` in the process table:

      $ ps -ef | grep update-manager
      stephen   5565  1907  0 07:40 ?        00:00:04 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/update-manager --no-update --no-focus-on-map
      stephen   5691  5621  0 08:04 pts/4    00:00:00 grep --color=auto update-manager

  It seems like the update-manager is starting automatically somehow but
  not displaying.  I can kill it from the command-line and click on the
  icon to launch it but it seems that it automatically gets into a bad
  state somehow.

  I am running Unity on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS inside a VM.
