I suggest that even if a user chooses to see the icons instead of the
popup/popunder, that if he/she didn't install security updates after 3
days, the popup/popunder should still happen. That way you can make
sure that the wannabe experts that follow all those 'how to "fix"
ubuntu' blogs & websites will still install security updates...
