Lite Updates Notify

[torreydale]

I wish it behaved more like Linux Mint did it. 

It placed an icon in the desktop bar at the bottom of the screen. if there were no updates, it would display an icon with a check mark in it. If there were updates, the icon had an exclamation point in it. And it should remain sticky and always viewable.

I have some mixed emotions about this.  When I was newer to Linux, Mint confused me on the updates issue.  I had no idea what I should select or not select to update.  The numbering system was offputting, etc.  Coming from Windows, I was just used to updating everything.  To know what library (or in the case of Windows, what DLL) to update or ignore was too much for me.  I wouldn't expect non-techie friends or family to know either.  It's always been easier to just tell them to be consistent with running the Install Updates utility.  And now that the 3.x series installs security updates to the kernel, I only have to add that they remove the old kernels every month or so using Lite Tweaks.  Training them on update levels 1-5 is going to be a turnoff for them and me.  If we go this route to appease those already familiar with Linux Mint, I say it should remain the advanced option, and the default option remain what we have now.
