The solution for me turned out to be very simple:

I found that there was a:
 Preferences > Default applications for LXSession > Options > Updates  
option, but that it had "Activate Updates" as blank.  When I clicked on the 
arrows at the right side of the the [button?], I noticed there was an option 
"update-notifier".
I selected that, and then clicked on "Apply" and "Reload" (don't know what that 
does), and when I exited the app, there was SoftwareUpdates on my panel.
The next day it appeared as well.

One difference from previous releases - it does not blink the app tab,
which I always liked before, as it drew attention to itself ( as it
often shares the panel with many other tabs, and gets lost in the
crowd).

Query #1:  Do you suppose that it was a design decision to not have
"update-notifier" as the default option, or just an oversight (bug)?

Query #2:  I notice that there is another option (other than "Other")
for "Activate Updates" : "build-in".  Does anyone have any idea what
that is/does?
