[Feature Request] Option in Update Manager to Keep Popups in Background

[N]

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.1 with default Unity, and I find the Update Manager popups taking the focus away from what you're currently doing to be very problematic for fullscreen gaming.

The popup will outright interrupt me while gaming. However, the worst part is, once I minimize it, my game has often been changed to windowed mode, and I therefore miss about 30 pixels along the bottom of the screen (where chat messages often occur). It's usually at least one minute before the game readjusts itself back to fullscreen, if at all.

I know you can disable Update Manager's popups altogether, but I do find them useful. Otherwise I would never remember to check for updates manually.

Sorry if this has already been addressed in Ubuntu 14.04.

Thank you.

Not a linux kernel issue.

Update Manager interrupted and minimized my fullscreen gaming TWICE within the same fifteen minutes today. And during really intense parts of the game, too. I really hope this issue will be addressed.
