Luca, thanks for this detailed report. In Ubuntu 12.10 and later, this
is partly fixed, partly Invalid. In order:
* The Gnome HIG is incomplete in its discussion of alert titles. An
alert shouldn't have a title *if it has a parent*. But if it doesn't, it
needs a title to be properly accessible in the window switcher, and that
trumps the slowness of competing with the primary text.
* The alert in 12.10 and later has primary text.
* Using the stock warning icon is less common than it used to be. It
would make sense if the alert was appearing as an immediate result of
choosing to update. But it is not; it may be appearing many minutes
later. And again, it has no parent. So using the Software Updater icon
instead helps you to identify why it is appearing.
