This is actually a Unity issue in how it handles the unmapped Software
Updater window. I'm able to reproduce the issue using the instructions
in https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1003950/comments/87.
I think I have a fix and will propose the solution very soon.

update-manager popup is shown on launcher and alt-tab list but window

Bug description:
Yesterday I got a "popup" from update-manager that shows on the
launcher how many updated packages there are available, but left-
clicking the icon didn't show the window. Alt-tabbing didn't help
either, so I closed it from the right-click menu and the next time it
showed I did get a proper popup window.
Today this happened again, so filing a bug now.
Steps to reproduce, hastily written:
0. (create another user account)
1. login to my main account
2. lock screen
3. switch user
4. update package lists
5. switch back to main user
Update-manager window is shown in Launcher and Alt-Tab, but does not
appear when selected, by either means.
Closing update-manager from the quicklist, and restarting, makes a
visible window, as we've said. Also, starting the upgrade from the
quicklist worked, and the in-progress dialog appeared normally. BUT,
when the upgrade was done, and should return to the main window, that
window was still inaccessible.
I don't know if the two-session scenario is the only way this bug
shows up, currently. I used to have this problem, under Precise, with
only one user session. But I haven't seen that behaviour in a while.
