I can't reproduce this behavior in Karmic. I followed your recipe and
update-manager opens and minimize on the current workspace. if I switch to
another workspace, I notice update-manager blinking in the task bar. When I
click on it, it opens on the current workspace.
I'm using metacity with visual effects disabled.
If you really want to test it, open a terminal and run the following commands:
As a normal user, get the current update-notifier notification interval and
write it down:
$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/update-notifier/regular_auto_launch_interval
Set it to 0. Update-notifier will show up immediately after detecting an update.
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/update-notifier/regular_auto_launch_interval 0
Restart update-notifier:
$ pkill update-notifier; update-notifier &
update your package cache
$ sudo apt-get update
update-manager should pop-up after some time. Then follow the steps you've
mentioned in your description.
Once you finished testing, reset the notification interval to its original
value:
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/update-notifier/regular_auto_launch_interval 7
And restart update-notifier
$ pkill update-notifier; update-notifier &
