Bug Description
i am using linux mint 11 lxde and while this may not be a 'problem' in so much that it's more of a nuisance, it is what it is. any time i login for the first time, two software update tray icons appear in the tray. after clicking one (doesn't matter which), i authenticate my password, the software center opens, and one of the icons disappears.

While I've not yet been able to find the exact cause for this, I have devised a workaround which is useful to have for all versions of Mint: modify mintUpdate.pl to ensure that only one instance runs.
This can be done as follows: (sorin, 2009)
sudo apt-get install easy_install
sudo easy_install tendo
Then edit /usr/lib/ linuxmint/ mintUpdate/ mintUpdate. py
and add the following lines somewhere at the top. I added it after the first line.
try: SingleInstance( )
from tendo import singleton
me = singleton.
except Exception, detail:
print detail
pass
