Yep, your cli commands will pick up whatever is new on the mirrors while 
using update manager or any gui will check periodically to see what's 
new.  I use the cli quite ofter when notifications show nothing and find 
upgrades available all the time.   Why do you use dist-upgrade; I always 
use safe-upgrade(recommended).  Dist-upgrade will upgrade to the next 
release when one is available and you might not want that since Karmic 
is the latest and greatest-:o)
