Strange – using Gnome search, I couldn't find it any more. Now, I thought  
that this is how the usability experts think is the most efficient way to  
launch an application these days: open Gnome application menu, by slamming  
the mouse into the right hand corner, then abandon the mouse, and start  
typing the app's name using the keyboard. Really, it's so intuitive. But,  
anyway, I eventually got used to it.

I got used to typing 'update' to bring it up. Now, nothing comes up.

I do see that its desktop file has 'nodisplay=true'. Removing that, restores  
'software update' as a searchable app.

I'm almost afraid to ask WTF was that about, and whose bright idea it was.
