The solution for me turned out to be very simple:
I found that there was a:
Preferences > Default applications for LXSession > Options > Updates
option, but that it had "Activate Updates" as blank. When I clicked on the arrows at the right side of the the [button?], I noticed there was an option "update-notifier".
I selected that, and then clicked on "Apply" and "Reload" (don't know what that does), and when I exited the app, there was SoftwareUpdates on my panel.
The next day it appeared as well.
One difference from previous releases - it does not blink the app tab, which I always liked before, as it drew attention to itself ( as it often shares the panel with many other tabs, and gets lost in the crowd).
Query #1: Do you suppose that it was a design decision to not have "update-notifier" as the default option, or just an oversight (bug)?
Query #2: I notice that there is another option (other than "Other") for "Activate Updates" : "build-in". Does anyone have any idea what that is/does?
