consider this idea instead of the pop-under... i understand this is not
immediately possible, but hope u could consider it into future
development...

u have a nice notification system, so rather than using the pop-under,
use the notify-osd for the update notification...

u guys already have a proposal for the actions keys in the notify-osd
for situations where it is absolutely required,
 so just have a single button for the user to choose "update now" ,
 and making the notify-osd stay longer for these update notification...

so they end up being less intrusive than the pop-under windows and
atleast have an option for the reminder , x mins , which users can
choose from...

i think is might be a good idea for consideration...
