Intrepid update notifier was fine. An applet appeared on the top line, I could attend to it at an appropriate time.
I certainly don't want a drop down window interrupting what I'm doing.
Since I'm running alpha jaunty much of the time when I boot up I invoke update manager and then do a check. If it reports "partial" then I do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Intrepid update notifier wasn't broken. "If it isn't broken don't fix it".
