Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-notifier

As described in http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=114&p=287 the update-notifier daemon is not run automatically on other desktops who support it, so I don't get automatic updates as specified in the configuration unless I manually run the update-manager (which works alright).

In:
        /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop
There is a line inside this file read like this:
        OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;
This line should be changed to:
        NotShowIn=KDE;
Or other unsupported desktops.

I'm using Xubuntu 8.10 and the LXDE desktop environment (that's how I found out)
