Title:
  Progress window is confusingly closeable

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  update-manager 1:0.196.7, Ubuntu Trusty

  1. Launch Software Updater.
  2. Begin the installation of updates.
  3. While updates are being installed, close the window.

  What happens: The window closes, but updates continue installing. This
  is confusing, because it means you can't tell when the updates have
  finished, or why your computer is still running slower than usual. And
  it means you won't be prompted to restart if necessary at the end.

  (If you try to undo your mistake by reopening Software Updater, it
  appears as only a title bar, bug 1297132.)

  What should happen: Like any dialog or progress window, Software
  Updater should never have a close button in the first place. Exiting
  is handled by more explicit buttons, depending on the situation ("OK",
  "Cancel", "Remind Me Later", "Restart Later").
