  While I was running apt-get upgrade, Software Updater opened by itself
  and showed a variety of updates, including security updates.
  
  This isn't actually covered in the spec. It says that Software Updater
  should open to show *non-security* updates only if "no other package
  management utility (e.g. Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center) is
  running". But it doesn't take into account the possibility that security
  updates are available but installing.
