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

[Forest]

I'm attaching a patch against update-notifier 0.147.1 that restores tray
icon notifications. Once the patched version is installed, you'll want
to make sure the auto-launch feature is disabled* and then restart
update-notifier (or log out and back in).

If you don't want to mess around with source code, you can get patched builds from my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~foresto/+archive/ubuntutweaks/

*You can disable auto-launch using this command line:
gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier auto-launch false

** Patch added: "restore_tray_icon.patch"

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

Status in The Update Notifier:
  New
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.
