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

[jimk]

I also use XUbuntu, and several times have overlooked the backgrounded
Software Updater. I prefer the notification bubble and systray icon... I
guess I am not a member of {everybody}, and I obviously did not
participate in the usability studies (probably because I am not in
{everybody}).

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

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in The Update Notifier:

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.
