We believe that this is the behavior we want

We do not have the concept of additional updates. We display the icon if 
updates are available.

The only way the icon becomes not visible is for the user to invoke 
UpdateManager by activating the icon. This causes updatemanagernotifier 
to exit. We discussed this during our code review yesterday and are 
satisfied with the behavior. If we were to change the behavior we would 
schedule a check for updates after the icon was activated instead of 
terminating the process.

Our assumption is that the user will install some software after 
invoking UpdateManager and will reboot the system.
