inconsistent user experience--orange button doesn't feel like a button

[Brent Core]

Binary package hint: update-notifier

When a user clicks on the orange update-notifier button on the panel, the "button" ought to exhibit button-like behavior. More specifically, the orange button should depress when clicked, and return to normal when mouse button is released.

The current behavior of the update-notifier button is inconsistent because surrounding buttons, such as the logout button (the door icon), the volume button, and the date/time button all give *immediate* feedback when clicked (whether it's depressing itself, calling another window immediately, etc.). The orange update-notifier button, however, can take as long as two whole seconds to respond after being clicked on a slow computer. I have been confused in the past whether the button requires a single or double-click to work, and as a result several windows were called up at the same time two seconds later because I clicked too many times.

This problem can probably be remedied by giving the user immediate feedback that his/her click actually *did* something, such as depressing the orange button.

Is this still an issue with Oneiric, the latest Ubuntu release? Update notifier has been ported to indicators, so when clicking the update notifier, the indicator menu should appear instantly, so I think this could be set to either Invalid or Fix Released.
