Bug Description

 - Lock screen (including by timeout)
 - Wait until Software Updater starts automatically
 - Unlock screen
 - Now you can see the Software Updater icon in Unity panel/dock, but there is no Software Updater window. Clicking dock icon does not bring it to front, window remains hidden.
 - It's possible to right-click the dock icon and click "Install all available updates" or to quit. It works, updates can be installed this way, but window does not appear, even after install.

This affects me too. I also found a defunct debconf-communicate in my processes. It vanished after I close the update manager.

@kolen have you got workspaces enabled? If not get the fault condition then enable workspaces (All settings > Appearance > Behavior) and see if the window is on another workspace.
