[Bug 989588] Re: update-manager popup is shown on launcher and alt-tab list but window doesn't show up

 

This looks like a duplicate of bug #1003950, but that one has been
"fixed", and this is still an issue so I'm not marking it as such.
Let's do any remaining work in here to have this really fixed.

  update-manager popup is shown on launcher and alt-tab list but window

Bug description:
  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.

  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 don't know if the two-session scenario is the only way this bug
  shows up, currently.  I used to have this problem, under Precise, with
  only one user session.  But I haven't seen that behaviour in a while.
