Binary package hint: update-manager

On clean install of Jaunty, I logged in for the first time and then
locked the screen immediately. When update-manager popped under showing
available updates, I could see all of my desktop except for the top and
bottom panels.

This is a security risk, since I could have sensitive documents open and
be away from my desk. IIRC, the screensaver doesn't hide the desktop
again until a key is pressed or the mouse moved (which causes the
password entry dialog to display).

It has also recurred since installing the initial updates, but the above
is the easiest way I can describe how to reproduce it.
