[Bug 1246364] Re: update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu 13.10

The answer to that question is no.

The question in my mind is: what causes problem?

I didn't notice until just now, but it seems the upgrade from Xubuntu
13.04 to 13.10 removed the notification tray from my panel, causing
several icons to disappear.  When I manually add the Indicator Plugin
widget to my panel, I can once again see several missing icons,
including one from update-notifier, though they are unusually small.
Manually removing Indicator Plugin from my panel, restores the icons to
full size.  Strange.  Do you see the same behavior?

Title:
  update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu 13.10

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

Bug description:
  update-notifier does not show a tray icon/notification in xubuntu 13.10 anymore. Instead the software updater window appears minimized, when updates are available.
  Additionally I tried to trigger the 'System Restart Required'-notification manually by adapting /var/run/reboot-required, but no notification was displayed (although it shows up in motd).
  As a side note: I got a 'there is something wrong with updates'-notification by removing update-notifier-common while update-notifier was running.
