Why don't we hide the icon after having applied all updates?
Furthermore, why does update-manager start with only giving it a
single-click. I'd think double-click would be more intuitive. Apart from
that I absolutely love the notifier and update-manager. They make
upgrading much more convenient and you still feel in control of your
computer :-).

I'll keep you posted about stuff I notice :-). Btw., in which language
is the upgrade-notifier written? And where do I find the sources? I'd
like a peak at them...
