Bug Description

Hello,

user story:

I just booted up my PC and started frantically typing to a terminal. I wasn't paying attention to the update-manager popping up into the foreground, I was just minding my own business, typing. Then I hit enter which the update-manager took as approval of the update procedure it was proposing. Now this approval wasn't intended, that enter keystroke was meant for the app I was typing to previously.

I'd suggest the update-manager not to pop up into the foreground, maybe it should start minimized or in the background.

Thank you for the fix in advance

happened again. I was about to hit enter. The dialog popped up beyond reflex time. Now I accepted an upgrade without having a chance to review it first. I'd like to have some agency here.
