Comment(by mcs):
Some investigation revealed that the update check is being done twice for
each new window as well upon "New Identity." I will post a patch that
does two things:
1) Suppresses the check when a new window is opened as part of New
Identity.
2) Tracks last check time in a preference so we can reduce the ping
frequency.
What is a good minimum check interval? 1 hour? 2 hours? My patch uses
15 minutes as a placeholder.
