Description Susan McCourt CLA 2007-12-04 20:07:23 EST 
In bug #208295 Andrew suggested that there be a status line affordance when updates are available.  I "sort of" did this as part of the "remind me later" support in the automatic updates popup.  The popup installs a status line item when it is hidden, and you can press on that item to get the popup back.

The problem is that the life cycle of the status line item is tied to the life cycle of the popup.  What we really want is that the affordance always shows whenever updates are available, even if the popup was closed.

This requires infrastructure to set/clear an "updates available" flag when available updates are actually installed.  I doubt I'll get to this for M4, so opening a separate bug.

To keep track of whether updates are needed, I need a reliable way of knowing when the profile changed.  Then, if auto-checking is enabled, I could check whether a profile modification involved updating the available updates.  So I'm marking this bug dependent on bug #208251.

investigate for M5

Fixed in HEAD.  The affordance will stay alive until the user triggers an update from either the popup or the affordance.
