Research direction
Start by reproducing the four Update Manager steps on Linux Mint 6.0.9, then inspect the Preferences close flow and the cache-refresh entry point. Done means closing Preferences without changing anything no longer refreshes the Update Manager; verify that a changed preference still behaves correctly.
