Bug description:
  The Update Manager program has no branding to say that it's legit.
  There's not even an Ubuntu logo.

  My advisor called me in the other day to ask "What is this program?
  Why did it pop up?  I thought Linux didn't have viruses."

  After explaining that it was legit, he told me his reasoning: there
  was little in the help he could /quickly/ find referencing this
  "Update Manager", and there was no branding or logo, or any helpful-
  to-his-level-of-skill explanation.  He's no dummy, just a born-and-
  bred Windows user until about 2 months ago.
