I don't seem to be able to record a correctly-encoded screencast with
recordmydesktop... I'll attach a couple of screenshots instead.

The "Not all updates can be installed" window can be forced to appear by
deliberately breaking the APT index. I can do this with a conflicting
version of libcogl I happened to have in my cache from a recent update:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all
/var/cache/apt/archives/libcogl2_1.7.8-1_amd64.deb

The index can be brought back to sanity with "sudo apt-get -f remove",
of course.

Then, open update-manager and wait for the "Not all updates can be
installed" window to pop up. Observe that there are two arrows on the
left of the update-manager launcher icon, correctly indicating the
existence of two windows. Press the icon to trigger spread mode, and
only the main window will appear.

As I mentioned in the report, this is very confusing when both windows
are on different desktops.
