Thanks for looking into this!

I hadn't thought about that case (and it is quite a rarity), but of course it should be considered. People who never operate their computer on mains power should have to do their upgrades manually (Does the Red-Arrow indicator still appear in Ubuntu Desktop? I use UNR and I don't think it does), and it should warn them that doing that on battery power might not be a good idea. For rest of the 99.9% of us who use laptops with and without power, we should only be notified that there are updates WHEN we are charging.

For this reason, patch #1 to add a title to the dialog box should be applied, and there should be some small reorganizations of code as well so that users on laptop power CAN update, but are not prompted to do so automatically.
