[Bug 942590] [NEW] update-manager misguiding text

Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 11.10 (currently the latest stable version of Ubuntu) I found
that the Update Manager has this misguiding text displayed in its main
window when and only when the updates are available. Below "Software
updates are available for your computer" it says this:

"If you don't want to install them now, choose "Update Manager" from
Applications later."

And what is wrong here? Well, Ubuntu doesn't have the "Applications"
menu anymore. Actually, the old desktop menus in Ubuntu are now long
gone, so please re-word this line of text. The place where the user can
choose to open the Update Manager later is in the menu that has a
"power" icon in the top-right of the screen. Point the user there in the
Update Manager when he/she has updates available. Thanks.
