Max, thanks for this suggestion, but we aren't going to do this. To
address your use cases in order:
* There is no longer an "updates available" icon to right-click.
* If you want to update at a time of your choosing, you can choose "Remind Me
Later", or even minimize the window.
* The dialog (together with its Launcher icon) *are* the visual cue that
updates are available. An icon in the menu bar alone wasn't noticable enough.
* Sometimes, where Ubuntu changes its UI for something, it offers the old UI as
a option. But we're under no obligation to do so, because it isn't sustainable
for each release to provide the accumulated aggregate of all options Ubuntu has
ever offered. In this case, offering the old UI now would involve
reimplementing the old behavior in the indicator system, and that work is not
worth doing nor maintaining.
We do have settings for making auto-launch much less frequent. If you
install security updates automatically, the prompt about other updates
can appear as infrequently as once every two weeks.
