I think it would be interesting if the user must wait at GDM for
updates to finish (assuming they were downloaded previously), and
is only allowed to log in when updates have finished. This process
only takes a minute or two, and the user can choose to not
initiate the updates or cancel them and log in at any point.

Are you kidding?
Wouldn't it be much more reasonable to do this at shutdown (or logout
for users that don't shutdown). When I login, I want to my stuff. When
I logout I am saying: "I'm done for know". Imagine that you are
leaving home, a little late, and decide to look for a map in google
maps. Wife and kids are already in the car. The you scream from the
office "Dear, will have to wait for five minutes more because Ubuntu
is forcing me to update now!"
The updates are complete opt-in. You just don't click to begin them if you don't have time for them. They don't begin automatically, they don't even ask you to initiate them. They just sit in the corner, and you click on them, or you don't. If the wife and kids are waiting, don't click on them.
Actually the whole concept of updates at login sounds very weird to me, for exact the same reason I described above. I can leave home while the computer is udpating itself (and shutting down)...Paulo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
