Bug Description

When you install updates, the packages are downloaded, and then another window
is opened that shows the console output of installing the packages. At the
bottom of this is a checkbox that says something like "Close this window when
updates are installed", however even if this is not checked, the window still
closes.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Do you think it would be nice if the user could scroll back in this terminal
window and look
over the changes again? My personal feeling is that I should hide the checkbox
because usually
all interessting information (changelog, description) is already present in the
update-manager.
What do you think?

Personally, I don't think it is really necessary to have that output visible,
but I do think there should be some confirmation fo the user that the upgrade
worked, perhaps collapse the window, saying "Upgrade completed succesfully" )(or
something), with the output hidden behind a GtkExpander.
