2009-03-01 18:31:45 Charlie Kravetz xfwm4: statusexplanation I can confirm this behavior. Update-manager steals focus in Xubuntu Jaunty. It should be set to not steal focus, so that is doesn't interrupt any work being done. Thanks for helping improve Ubuntu.

2009-03-02 11:41:11 Matthew Paul Thomas description Binary package hint: xfwm4 For Ubuntu 9.04, update-notifier behavior was changed such that update-manager will be automatically launched on a regular basis, but behind other applications. It does this by launching "update-manager --no-focus-on-map". On standard Ubuntu (using metacity), this behavior works properly. You can manually verify by running that command in a terminal. On Xubuntu & Mythbuntu (using xfwm4), the update manager window pops up above your running application.

2009-03-05 09:33:46 Michael Vogt update-manager: statusexplanation Sorry, I do not see what update-manager itself can do. It sets the focus_on_map property to false so it requests from the WM to not get focus. A possible workaround for xubuntu/mythubuntu could be to set the /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch default to False in the xubuntu-system-settings package (or something like this).

Should be fixed upstream (r29657), I'll include the patch in the package in a few hours.
