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

[Forest]

Side note for those using my patch: I have confirmed that update-manager
now tells the user when a reboot is required, so it seems there's no
need to restore that functionality in update-notifier.

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

  Confirmed

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.
