Remember this little guy, the orangish icon that appears in your upper GNOME panel in Debian Lenny when you have software updates? Ubuntu has a similar yet different icon. Or had it, I guess. Now that the Ubuntu Project decided to completely change the way users are notified of software updates, opening an update window either in the foreground or background at some point during the week the update is released, the cheery orange (or whatever color it used to be in Ubuntu) icon doesn't get much play.
