[Christopher Townsend <christopher.townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is actually a Unity issue in how it handles the unmapped Software
Updater window.  I'm able to reproduce the issue using the instructions
in https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1003950/comments/87.

I think I have a fix and will propose the solution very soon.

Title:
  update-manager popup is shown on launcher and alt-tab list but window
  doesn't show up

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.
