I am not supporting the current interface, but just pointing out that
it it still possible to close the update manager by right clicking it
in the launcher and selecting quit.

I notice though that after this mornings updates, which I did via
command line and which updated the kernel the gear icon has not gone
red.  If I run the update manager however it says that I need to
reboot but the icon is still not red.
