Title:
  "Check for updates" should offer the updates for installation if
  available

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  The right-mouse menu of the update-notifier applet has the following
  options:

  Show updates - does the same thing as left-clicking (do we need two ways to do this?)
  Install all updates - installs updates already known to be available
  Check for updates - checks for new updates, then exits (see below)
  Start package manager - run Synaptic interactively

  I think "Check for updates" should, after checking for updates,
  display the available updates to the user in the same manner as "Show
  updates" or left-clicking.  If the user is asking to check for updates
  immediately, they are clearly interested in what is available and
  probably want to install it.  As such, I think it's appropriate to
  interact with them if there are updates available (which is always
  true, because otherwise the icon is hidden).
