Title:
  dialog popped up by release upgrader can be accidentally dismissed too
  easily

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was working doing other things on my computer while the upgrade to
  Xenial was running. At some point, the upgrade popped up a big
  squarish dialog; I'm not sure what it said in it exactly, but I saw
  that it was a grey frame enclosing a scrolling white textbox, and that
  the word "obsolete" was displayed prominently somewhere in it.

  Unfortunately, it popped up and grabbed focus just as I was hitting
  Enter in the other program I was working in, and as a result, the
  dialog was dismissed accidentally by me a fraction of a second after
  it popped up, before I could read what was in it.

  The release upgrader should use one of the strategies that other apps
  of this sort use to prevent this kind of thing from happening: either
  (a) don't allow the "OK" button in this dialog to be clicked for a few
  seconds after it pops up, or (b) don't focus on the "OK" button in
  this dialog by default, i.e., make the user tab to it or click on it
  to dismiss it.
