Bug#520201: Subject: update-notifier: fails to show updates and descriptions

[Christos Ziogas]

Subject: update-notifier: fails to show updates and descriptions
Package: update-notifier
Version: 0.70.7.debian-5
Severity: normal

When I have updates available, and click on the tray icon to see the list
with the updates and their description of what changes will be done, there
is no response. In order to install the updates i have to right-click the
icon, and then install updates.
