Bug Description

Now Precise has actually launched, when there are updates available the update manager starts automatically, its icon appearing in the launcher with a badge for the number of updates available and a little light blue triangle to the left.

Clicking on it does nothing.

Right-clicking on it and selecting Update Manager does nothing.

I don't want to install all available updates without seeing what they are.

I have to quit it, then launch it again myself so I can see the usual update manager window.
