Thanks for reply. I agree with that, while the old system with the
notification item was not ideal it was at least simple :)

The new way has some magic in it, its hard to know if its not working at
all or if something reset the timer. Unfortunately its too late to fix
#351484 because that requires some deeper changes.

A easy change is to make update-manager ignore other package
updates/installs (e.g. done via synaptic or apt-get or add/remove) and
poping up after 7 days without update-manager. This will annoy people
who manage their software with apt-get/synaptic, they will probably
remove update-manager/update-notifier (or discover the gconf key to get
back the old behavior with the icon).

I leave this decision to the design team (if we change aynthing and if
so, what).
