Title:
  Software updater popup consumes 15-20% CPU doing absolutely nothing

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The popup that tells you that the computer needs to be restarted to
  finish installing updates (with the choice whether to restart now or
  later), consumes 15% to 20% CPU.

  That's f***ing ridiculous, there's no reason why a popup, that is just
  there doing nothing waiting for you to click one of its buttons,
  should consume even a detectable amount of CPU time.

  By  the way, I don't know why the popup was even there to begin with:
  I didn't install any updates (it usually asks me). I don't know
  whether it installed somoe updates without asking me, or if the popup
  nonsensically appeared for no reason. Either way, it's idiotic.

  Anyway, after I closed it, update-manager stopped consuming CPU.
