Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

The behavior of Update Manager specifically is controlled by settings in the "Updates" tab of "Software Sources". However, there is no way to get from one to the other -- to, for example, set the option to install security updates without confirmation.

This can be fixed by adding a "Settings…" button to the bottom left corner of the Update Manager window, that opens "Software Sources" to its "Updates" tab.

(Please use a real U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS in "Settings…".)

This is part of the changes desired for Ubuntu's new notification system <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Update%20Manager>.

    - keep track of launch times via gconf
      (/apps/update-manager/launch_time)
  * debian/control:
