I have seen this problem here as well.  As the code in update-notifier
hasn't changed, I think this is probably a bug in unity, refusing to
display the window.

** Package changed: update-notifier (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  Update-notifier window invisible in utopic

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Somehow I ended up with update-notifier not being visible on my utopic
  laptop.  I can see it in the dock on the left, and I can interact with
  it that way (right-clicking to choose "install available software"),
  and I can even close it out from there.  But I cannot cause its main
  window to appear on any desktop.

  Rebooting does not clear this problem, and it happens even with the
  reboot notifications.
