Bug Description
When I click the update notifier icon, a window pops up briefly and then disappears. Runnig update-notifier from the command line shows the reason -- it doesn't handle a certain exception (see below). Note that the error itself isn't the applet's fault, only the fact that it doesn't report it to the user.

Thanks for your bugreport.
The current version in dapper has improved error reporting and this error will be displayed in the frontend.
Thanks,
Michael
