Title:
  dialog box appears in wrong workspace, update-manager GUI appears
  frozen to user

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I did an "update-manager -d" in a terminal window in workspace 1. It
  took quite a long time for the GUI to start up (maybe 30-60 seconds),
  and I thought it wasn't working. Meanwhile I switched to workspace 2.
  When the GUI did finally come up, it popped up in workspace 2. I went
  ahead and got the update going. When I came back later, the GUI
  appeared to be frozen in the middle of an install, at "installing the
  upgrade." The last message displayed was about a package that had been
  installed successfully. The GUI appeared to be frozen. I clicked
  around on it and couldn't get it to respond. In particular, I couldn't
  get it to respond to clicks on the triangle widget to open the black
  terminal window showing at what point it had frozen. Only later did I
  switch to a different workspace and realize that there was a modal
  dialog displayed in that workspace. I don't think the exact error is
  really relevant, but I've pasted it below.

  The problem here is that the GUI isn't behaving consistently. It opens
  some dialogs in the workspace of the terminal window in which it was
  started, and others in the workspace I happened to be in when the
  software finished its (slow) startup.

  This appears to be related to, but maybe not the same as, bugs 95327
  and 16581. These all relate to problems with getting dialogs to pop up
  in the right workspace. The other two bugs are marked as having been
  fixed a long time ago.
