[Bug 1169543] [NEW] Software update hangs after finished checking for updates

[Matthew Butler]

Public bug reported:

When running software updater, small dialog window appears with progress
bar. Shows checking for updates from the various sources.

Shows Checking for Updates...
Progress bar is at 100% status under progress bar shows 'Finished'
Stop button is grayed out. 
Window hangs in this state. Does not show updates or indicate that there are no updates available. Unable to close with alt-F4, or from Gnome Shell overview or X on window. Need to xkill/kill the application.
