I'm having this issue on 14.04. Here's a workaround:
```
sudo apt-get install wmctrl # if necessary
wmctrl -R 'Software Updater'
```
```
wmctrl --help | grep -A1 ' -R'
-R <WIN> Move the window to the current desktop and
activate it.
```
Here's the window's previous geometry:
```

Bug description:
Update manager is showing up in the dock but I can click on the icon
all day and nothing happens. Similarly if I do Super-S or Super-W it
doesn't show up anywhere.
Even if I alt-tab to the application nothing shows up. This happens
only when update manager runs on its own. If I kill it and then launch
it myself it comes to the foreground just fine.
I'm not 100% sure whether this is a unity, compiz, or update-manager
bug but so far my bet is on unity.
