[Bug 972696] [NEW] update manager starts late

[Kived]

Public bug reported:

Update manager starts too late now. In previous Ubuntu versions, it
started checking for updates as soon as you logged in and the dialog
popped up less than a minute later, but now it waits like 5-10 minutes
before starting. It's really annoying to get to work and start all my
applications, wait for them to all load, THEN find out that half the
applications I opened need updating and that I'll have to restart those
applications.

I'd much rather know right away that there are updates available so I
can run them BEFORE starting applications, and especially for updates
that require a system restart this is extra important, as I'm not
restarting my computer after I just finished starting it up and getting
my apps loaded.

If there is some reason for it starting late in some situations (as I
can't see any reasonable user objection to having it load right away),
then at least maybe this could be a setting.
