Update window unexpectedly jumps to foreground

[Ed Swierk]

Binary package hint: update-manager

If you're on a slow network connection, then downloading packages can take a long time, and you might want to do something else while Update Manager chugs away. But whenever it finishes a step, it insists on popping its window into the foreground, interrupting whatever you're doing. This behavior is confusing and annoying.

If Update Manager is in the background but really wants to tell you something, it should use the notification area. Otherwise it should stay there patiently until the user chooses to interact with it.
