Description William Jon McCann 2013-01-16 22:02:28 UTC 
The Install Updates button in the Details has a couple issues:

 * The label when no updates are available isn't very pretty. It says "System Up-To-Date". That looks funny to me.

 * The button label when updates are available says "Install Updates" but it just displays the available updates. I think it is fine to not take immediate action. But we probably want to be consistent with the notification used to alert the user of the availability of an update.

 * "Checking for Updates" should probably have an ellipsis or a spinner or something.

 * Mentioned in another bug we should avoid showing this altogether if there is no network.

How about something like this instead:

Show a left (dim) label for "Software Updates". And show either:

0. "Checking for available updates..."
1. "Software is up to date"
2. "Software updates are available" [View]

It now always reads "Check for updates," see bug #720946
