When updates are available, in the past, I used to be able left click on the
icon, would get a pop up window showing the available updates.
I typically update through the terminal, but found it a useful feature.
Mainly I am looking to see if a new entropy is available, will install it
first before upgrade. Sometimes I am waiting for a particular update in
limbo. With one click, I could see if it hit the mirrors yet.
I can use --ask , or launch the package manager, I vote for bringing the
left click back.
