what i need is not a shortcut to update-manager, but something that notifies me 
when an update is available. In gnome, an icon appears in the panel when there 
is something to update: clicking on it opens synaptic, and you can perform the 
updates.  useful.

How can i know when an update is available? Should i remember to manually 
perform an apt-get upgrade every day or every week?

thank you,
Ale.
