[Bug 1061469] [NEW] Update icon and notification disappear after a few seconds

[Kevin Keijzer]

Public bug reported:

On Xubuntu 12.10, when updates are found automatically, the update-
notifier icon is shown in the indicator applet, and a notification
bubble pops up with xfce4-notifyd. However, both disappear after a few
seconds, so unless you're monitoring your computer all the time, the
updates can easily go unnoticed.

Removing the indicator applet (and thus using the regular notification
area) makes no difference. I haven't tested this on Ubuntu yet, though.
