Thanks for the suggestion, sorry, I've been slow to try it.

1) Removed update-manager, everything looked o.k.
2) find update-manager:
jeff at Laptop1:~$ sudo find / -name *update-manager*
/etc/update-manager
/usr/share/update-manager
/usr/share/doc/update-manager-core
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/update-manager.mo

Title:
  Update Manager is in Launcher and Alt-Tab list, but I can't switch to
  it

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Update Manager recently started itself and found two updates. I
  can tell by the icon in the launcher. The icon has a (2) on it and a
  little white arrow saying the application is running. I can also see
  the update-manager process in a 'ps -A' list. Alt-Tab also shows the
  Update Manager.

  The problem is I can't get Update Manager to show up. If I click on
  the icon or Alt-Tab to it, nothing happens. I don't see any GUI window
  pop up.  I've never had any issues starting it manually, but when it
  starts on it's own after finding an update, I can't switch to it.
