Orange icon, we love you
As many of you already know, Jaunty brought a small but significant change in the Ubuntu user interface: the beloved updates icon doesn’t show up anymore. In its place, the Update Manager will automatically open under the current windows.
The pop under technique is well known to any of you surfing porn highly advertised websites, once you close your current applications you’ll notice there’s a new window underneath.
Also, since the use of the technique is a (purposely) slightly more obstrusive, the limit of once a week has been set. Translated, even if newer updates are available, the update manager won’t automatically popup before 7 days since the last automatic appearance.
An awful lot of people didn’t like the change. More clearly said, the new behaviour has been marked as a regression. The numbers are quite impressing: 300+ comments on the main bug, and 27 duplicated bugs !
