I believe what's happening here is that the update manager window is being denied focus because it requests not to be focussed on map initially (in fact, I think it requests to be started minimized too) and because it was initially denied focus we set the _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION state on _NET_WM_STATE. That's wrong and I need to fix that. Good find Paul.
