Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
When there are updates in Jaunty (904) and the update manager starts, it
shows the update-manager window and shows the window minimizing (with
animation). This can be seen when all other windows have been minimized
or when there are no windows in the way of the update-manager window.
This behavior is very distracting and grabs the users attention as it
flashes on the screen, the exact thing the "new" notification system is
supposed to prevent.
This is just my opinion but maybe a better solution is that when the
update manager starts it is in the background but doesn't have its task
listed in the panel. Just like the dialog box that is popped up when
downloading/installing things in synaptic (I'm not sure if this is even
possible). Thus making in unable to be minimized only closed, this
would also remove it from the ALT-TAB list. Another alternative might
be that the update manager doesn't show up in the task panel until it is
minimized, essentially popping open in the background but not visible
until you change and/or minimize the window you are working in.
Notes:
1. This is seen when not using a composite desktop, I'm not sure of the
behavior when you do run one.
2. The attached video was captured with Xvidcap, I apologize for it not being
in Theora but it is viewable with VLC
