I want a constant reminder like we had in G2 (Gnome 2).  I might not get 
to doing the update for hours or even a day, if it is not an important 
update, but I don't want to forget it.  Right now, I just don't see the 
update message.  Since the (Dec 8), I have seen it all of once.  I have 
determined that there are updates by running "yum update" in a root shell.

If there are updates, I want to know about it.  If they are important 
bug fixes or critical security fixes I want to know that too.

This "flash in the pan" just does not do it for something that could be 
really important.
