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

[Forest]

It seems my notification tray problem was an unrelated bug.  Now that
that's sorted out, I see that update-notifier does eventually appear
(minimized) when it finds that updates are ready for me, and sometimes
even opens its window on the desktop.  I'm not sure yet, but it might be
that it's showing the window only when security updates are available.

I think this is the behavior on Unity desktops, which makes me think
this whole problem is likely another example of someone applying changes
to a widely used program to suit Unity, and breaking the program on
other desktops in the process.  (For example, bug 1186801)

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.
