when automatically started to launcher because updates available, cannot open window

[Rachel Greenham]

Now Precise has actually launched, when there are updates available the update manager starts automatically, its icon appearing in the launcher with a badge for the number of updates available and a little light blue triangle to the left.

Clicking on it does nothing.

Right-clicking on it and selecting Update Manager does nothing.

I don't want to install all available updates without seeing what they are.

I have to quit it, then launch it again myself so I can see the usual update manager window.

I can confirm that I am also seeing the exact same behaviour as described in the description.

Same in 12.04 (this issue existed in 11.10 as well).
