Public bug reported:

Using Ubuntu 14.04 with Metacity (gnome-classic session), if update-
manager is performing package updates in the background (as usual), and
is actually configuring packages, upcoming requests steal keyboard focus
and are answered randomly.

I am writing a lot on my machine, so any request suddenly stealing focus
and accept keys will most likely disapper very fast answered in a
totally uncontrolled fashion.

This may be quite dangerous, as system updates are made with root
privileges and the questions may be quite important I guess.
