Why that may happen on Kubuntu, it hasn't been true on any post-Jaunty Ubuntu releases . By default, u-m desn't pop up whether there are security updates or not, even if the user hasn't updated for month. I can run for weeks before remembering to fire up u-m manually, and the users I've installed Ubuntu on don't do that, so they end up month late in updates (even though they were installing updates regularly pre-Jaunty). Jaunty had it open behind other windows, so there was a chance some users would notice it if (and only if) they were not just having Firefox full screen all the time. With Karmic and Lucid, u-m doesn't show at all. For inexperienced users, automatic upgrades might be a choice to consider, if only they were not the kind of users that could handle it the worst, since they won't remember to save their work regularly.
