Comment 1 for bug 797040

I believe what's happening here is that the update manager window is
being denied focus because it requests not to be focussed on map
initially (in fact, I think it requests to be started minimized too)
and because it was initially denied focus we set the
_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION state on _NET_WM_STATE. That's wrong
and I need to fix that. Good find Paul.
