Second one is my failed attempt at making a preemptive strike. Also wish to add my voice to the negative side here. The only good reason to go through with this is if it would indeed increase security, and make people more likely to install updates. I don't see this step helping that... A random window lying around (since it's opened in the background) will be closed, since this is not a normal way to notify people of updates. People are used to either focused dialogs, notification icons, or notification bubbles for this kind of information. And if people have to re-learn to be able to handle this behaviour as it is intended, then it has obviously failed. If we really wanted to take a step on security we would enable automatic security updates by default... This, is in my opinion an uneccesary step, which annoys without actaully acheiving what is intended. But then again I am writing here, so it doesn't really count. - Arand -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
