Timo, I see what you mean! :)   I was able to reproduce what you're
talking about.

Steps to reproduce, hastily written:

0. (create another user account)
1. login to my main account
2. lock screen
3. switch user
4. update package lists
5. switch back to main user

Update-manager window is shown in Launcher and Alt-Tab, but does not
appear when selected, by either means.

Closing update-manager from the quicklist, and restarting, makes a
visible window, as we've said.  Also, starting the upgrade from the
quicklist worked, and the in-progress dialog appeared normally.  BUT,
when the upgrade was done, and should return to the main window, that
window was still inaccessible.

I guess I'll paste this into the main description.


** Description changed:

  Yesterday I got a "popup" from update-manager that shows on the launcher
  how many updated packages there are available, but left-clicking the
  icon didn't show the window. Alt-tabbing didn't help either, so I closed
  it from the right-click menu and the next time it showed I did get a
  proper popup window.
  
  Today this happened again, so filing a bug now.
