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

[Forest]

The solution here is to convince the package maintainers that WE NEED
THEM TO FIX THIS BUG.

My patch still works on the latest release.  ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS
APPLY IT.

I occasionally update my PPA for the release that I run myself
(currently Xubuntu yakkety), but expecting me to do maintain a parallel
distribution of update-notifier is not a realistic solution.

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

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  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.
