Bug#644387: Option to perform updates using synaptic instead of update-manager-gnome

[Andreas Neudecker]

Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.5-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be great if it were possible to configure the panel applet of update-
manager-gnome to start synaptic when clicking on the updates available message
or from the context menu.
It would even be nicer if synaptic could be started with the updates being
preselected for action.

Kind regards

Andreas
