I rebooted and the little buggar went away :-) So happy for the fast start of
Kubuntu. I was doing some maintenance on a friends XP box and you can make
coffee and visit your grand parents if you have to reboot that ugly thing :-/

I don't. Although I've reverted to hardy to get real work done, I have one
machine running karmic, and the last automatic notification I received on
that machine was about a week after karmic was released. Since then I have
had to check manually if I'm interested in finding out about updates.

Seems like this would call for a bugreport... :-)

I've noticed that the message "You have X updates available" doesn't change unless you actually apply the updates, even if new updates are available.

I think it's always been that way. Mind you, at least you get a message in
karmic. I don't.

And regarding filing a bug... I'm afraid that eventually I gave up filing
bugs against karmic. I'd had my fill of WONTFIX responses (which is mostly
why I went back to hardy -- I had to get work done and there didn't seem
much reason to be optimistic that karmic was going to improve appreciably.
I live in some slight hope that lucid will be better; at the very least
perhaps state-of-the-art support for C++ developers will be restored).
