How is the fact that the applet does not display the updates just a normal bug? If the customer does not see the updates then they won't know they need to install them.

Major, is OK, as this is main functionality error. But not critical, since it does not break the system.

As the patch selector has now been removed and the detailed view has been replaced this can be considered fixed.

The simple view will show the correct updates. Upon clicking details you will be shown YaST's sw_single module.

The applet now wait's a few seconds to not interfere with the startup process of the desktop and than do a refresh on its own.
