Update Notifier (GNOME)

== Change in Update Notification ==
According to the [http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 Ubuntu 9.04 release notes], there is a change in the update notification.

<blockquote>
<p><strong>Change in notifications of available updates</strong></p>
<p>Ubuntu 9.04 introduces a change to the handling of package updates, launching update-manager directly instead of displaying a notification icon in the GNOME panel. Users will still be notified of security updates on a daily basis, but for updates that are not security-related, users will only be prompted once a week.</p>
<p>Users who wish to continue receiving update notifications in the previous manner can restore the earlier behavior using the following command:</p>
<pre>
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false 
</pre>
</blockquote>

== Change Back to Old Style ==
As it says, this can be changed back to the old style with the following command.
 $ gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false
