Updates via GUI - no indicator

[stevef]

Will do.  I understand the flat number of file updates is not a reliable indicator of size of download.  That said, according to the updates log this morning the 3 files required for the gimp updates 'Fetched 18.7 MB in 37s (505 kB/s)' so if there was a 'downloading updates' window (on top) while this was going on, I doubt I'd have missed it particularly as I was looking out for it with the Yad version.

This seems to be a edge case and is largely cosmetic.  I wonder if it is related to some tweaks (perhaps to desktop settings) that only a few people happen to have in place which causes the windows non-appearance.

I've not noticed any other problems, but would it be worth reverting my desktop settings to a standard set up ?

Thanks again.
