[Bug 1051110] [NEW] ucf debconf prompt lands in hidden terminal instead of using gnome frontend

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

I had a package (legitimately) prompt for ucf merging of a config file
today on upgrade in quantal.  Instead of displaying this for me in a
window, however, the prompt was hidden in the associated terminal.

Furthermore, clicking on 'details' to expand the terminal gave me an
80x1 terminal widget, so it took me a while to figure out I needed to
expand the update-manager window.
