In response to comment #42: there is not a lot of noise about other people having the problem
I've seen this bug on all Ubuntu installations I've used in the last two years (at least 10 computers). The problem is that it's hard to search for this bug on launchpad. Today I've spent one full hour and I've found 6 duplicates. I've marked them as duplicates of bug #925260 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/925260 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Similarly if I do Super-S or Super-W it doesn't show up anywhere. Even if I alt-tab to the application nothing shows up. This happens only when update manager runs on its own. If I kill it and then launch it myself it comes to the foreground just fine. I'm not 100% sure whether this is a unity, compiz, or update-manager bug but so far my bet is on unity. =====Original Report===== Bug #877444 is showing again in latest updates, please re-open it.
