update-manager does behave annoying under unity, since it pops up to
front, but does not activate its window. If the user is active in e.g.
Firefox while update-manager pops up, you cannot just switch [alt]+[tab]
to get back to firefox, because you still are in active firefox but have
the update-manager window in front. You have to activate the update-
manager window first before you can change back to firefox or hide the
window of update-manager.

I'd expect, that wenn update-manager pops up its window, it activates
the window. There's no point in having a window popping up to front when
it is not activated. Ideally update-manager should not pop up to front
but use the urgent-messaging type of unity to show that there is
something going on.
