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

[David Cancalon]

Same problem as many people here...

The update popup is an inelegant solution. Like blimblam I have wasted
several hours trying to bring back the old behaviour from Xubuntu 12.04
LTS, of an icon in the notification area.

There are must be at least configurable option to keep notification area
icon, so users can choose between popup and/or notification icon.

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.
