Title:
  ucf debconf prompt lands in hidden terminal instead of using gnome
  frontend

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “update-manager” source package in Quantal:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
