I don't know why this bug was only fixed in unity and not in update-
manager, but here's a workaround for those of us not using unity (since
all the other workarounds posted here don't work):

sudo apt-get install wmctrl
wmctrl -F -r "Software Updater" -e 0,0,10,600,700

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  update-manager 1:0.196.9, Ubuntu Trusty

  Update manager's window, and especially its fields inside the window, are way too small and also it's not resizeable, making it almost useless at least on my HiDPI screen (3200 x 1800).

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#expanded>: "The Updates
  Available window should be manually resizable only when it is in this
  expanded state."

  [ Test Case ]

  Run the Ubuntu update manager and attempt to resize the window.  See
  above.

  [ Regression Potential ]

  Any code change to the Unity desktop shell has the potential to
  introduce new crashes or lockups.

  [ Additional Info ]

  The Unity SRU fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry-picked from Ubuntu
  14.10 where it has been in production use for some time without
  apparent regressions.
