Public bug reported:
update-notifier does not always check existing crashes until another
crash file is created
Test Case.
1. Stop update-notifier
2. Create a crash file: sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'
3. Start update-notifier (you may need to stop and start more than once to
trigger the issue)
4. Wait for the 3min timeout
Expected Result
Apport UI is triggered if reporting is set to manual.
Actual Result
In debug mode the following message is displayed on start then nothing happens
even after waiting for the 3 minutes timeout
** (update-notifier:22999): DEBUG: 12:09:05.768: tray_applet_ui_destroy:
