Description Bastien Nocera 2011-03-20 00:25:36 UTC 
And rename it to "check for updates".

We should use a separate label for showing whether updates are available, and always have a "check for updates" button available.

This would avoid:
- resizing the dialogue
- wondering where they can force looking for updates
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2011-03-20 00:26:58 UTC 
We should also show when the last check for updates occurred.
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2011-03-20 00:28:28 UTC 
Avoiding the resize is good.  The rest are not I think.
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2011-03-20 00:55:22 UTC 
Showing that it's checking whether there are updates (or at least telling the user what it's doing) would be interesting.
Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2011-03-20 08:03:33 UTC 
If somebody gives me a mockup, I'll try to do this on Monday.

FWIW, I didn't get any answers to comment 3. We avoid the resizing, and explain that we're checking for updates. The button stays disabled if no updates are available (and shows "System Up-To-Date" to avoid the negative "No Updates Available").
