Title:
  update manager 'applying changes' dialog does not honor de-selecting
  the 'Close this dialog after...'  checkbox

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

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  update-manager:
    Installed: 1:0.134.11.1
    Candidate: 1:0.134.11.1
    Version table:
   *** 1:0.134.11.1 0
          500 http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
          500 http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:0.134.7 0

  Problem:
  When applying an update, an 'Applying changes' dialog appears with an embedded terminal in it. All of the dpkg goings on are printed to this shell during the installation/configuration process. I like to *not* have this window close automatically so I can review what was actually done.

  Regardless of the 'Close this dialog after the changes have
  successfully been applied' checkbox state, the dialog *always* closes
  immediately. I see this as not only annoying (and broken) but also as
  a security issue, because I am unable to inspect what exactly
  transpired during the upgrade/installation.

  The default behavior *should* be to have this checkbox un-checked, and
  then remember your preference if you change it.
