[Bug 1240743] [NEW] update-manager should refresh package list periodically while open

[Todd Wilson]

Public bug reported:

lsb_release -dcs:  Ubuntu 13.04 raring
update-manager version:  1:0.186.2
uname -srvmpio:  Linux 3.8.0-31-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 10 20:03:44 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Update manager, if its window stays open with the package list
displayed, should refresh that package list periodically so that it
remains reasonably up-to-date.  What invariably happens instead is that,
after a long-postponed update is finally initiated and completed, the
check for new updates that is started immediately afterwards turns up
another set of packages to update, which can be both unexpected ("didn't
I just update?") and require unnecessary additional interaction with the
user to finish.
