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

[John Bigboote]

Forest: Any chance for a Trusty .deb of this in your PPA?  I've been
running with update-notifier uninstalled for over a year, since it is
effectively broken due to this bug.  Real world situations I encountered
before removing it:

1. The update dialog stealing focus while I was typing, causing me to
inadvertently activate it through keyboard shortcuts.

2. The update dialog stealing focus while I was watching a video in full
screen XBMC (now Kodi).

Both of these scenarios are completely intolerable, so I now run updates
manually whenever I happen to think of it.

  update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu

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.
