R. Steve McKown: All except one of your points have been addressed
several times previously. The one that hasn't been is "Bubbles dismiss
themselves." In notification-daemon, that was dependent on the bubble
(expire_timeout). But a bubble that dismissed itself (as they always do
in Notify OSD) would be no notification at all, if it opened at a time
of day when you were never at the computer; and conversely, a bubble
that didn't dismiss itself would be more annoying than an alert box,
because it would float on top of every window.

Chauncellor: Thanks for the kind words, but I'm under no illusions that
the current presentation is perfect. :-) We can improve the settings to
encourage automatic updates, make the window less annoying by making its
default size smaller, improve its layout and text, and reduce the number
of windows that open by merging the progress window into the main
window. See <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates> and
<https://code.launchpad.net/update-manager> if you're interested in
helping out.
