Forest: Any chance for a Trusty .deb of this in your PPA? I've been running with update-notifier uninstalled for over a year, since it is effectively broken due to this bug. Real world situations I encountered before removing it:

1. The update dialog stealing focus while I was typing, causing me to inadvertently activate it through keyboard shortcuts.

2. The update dialog stealing focus while I was watching a video in full screen XBMC (now Kodi).

Both of these scenarios are completely intolerable, so I now run updates manually whenever I happen to think of it.
