Title:
  [Feature Request] Option in Update Manager to Keep Popups in
  Background

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.1 with default Unity, and I find the Update
  Manager popups taking the focus away from what you're currently doing
  to be very problematic for fullscreen gaming.

  The popup will outright interrupt me while gaming. However, the worst
  part is, once I minimize it, my game has often been changed to
  windowed mode, and I therefore miss about 30 pixels along the bottom
  of the screen (where chat messages often occur). It's usually at least
  one minute before the game readjusts itself back to fullscreen, if at
  all.

  I know you can disable Update Manager's popups altogether, but I do
  find them useful. Otherwise I would never remember to check for
  updates manually.

  Sorry if this has already been addressed in Ubuntu 14.04.

  Thank you.
