[Rick <ricksdunn@xxxxxxxxx>]

The command below reserrects the hidden "Software Updater" window when
issued. It does not fix the underlying coding issues however it makes it
possibly to continue the update process without killing/quitting -
restarting the app.

sudo apt-get install wmctrl # if necessary
wmctrl -R 'Software Updater'

after issuing the command the window should appear and respond to its
controls as normal.

Hope this help... I take no credit as this is a repeat from one of the
posts higher up in this thread

Bug description:
  Found an easy way to reproduce it during brussels sprint:
  1. start deja-dup or update-manager
  2. kill -9 compiz; metacity
  3. compiz --replace

  
  ===============

  Update manager is showing up in the dock but I can click on the icon
  all day and nothing happens. Similarly if I do Super-S or Super-W it
  doesn't show up anywhere.

  Even if I alt-tab to the application nothing shows up. This happens
  only when update manager runs on its own. If I kill it and then launch
  it myself it comes to the foreground just fine.

  I'm not 100% sure whether this is a unity, compiz, or update-manager
  bug but so far my bet is on unity.
