 C.Cooke,
looks good , but the updates available are just too much info, rather
just splitting the info into X number of security updates are available
and X number of softwares updates would be better.

the detailed updates info would however show up when the main update
window is brought up...

also i feel that the indicator applet should have a dynamic changing
icon so that the program icon of the application demanding attention is
displayed rather than the common envelope icon for all the apps...
