Bug Description
Binary package hint: adept
What is this "gearwheel" sort of updater Icon trying to tell us? Is there any metaphor linked with it, I mean - what does a gearwheel have to do with an update notifier?
Although the old icon in KDE 3 (this red warning sign) was not perfect (it is too alarming in case of non-critical security updates), it did at least catch most user's attention, telling them that something was not okay with their systems. If there is no better proposal for a new Icon, I would be pleased to see at least the old icon back in Ubuntu 9.10.

In line with upstream policy and using in kpackagekit this should really be a notification with actions which lives in the "i" icon on the systray.
