Bug Description

When the progress window of update-manager appears, it is not centered on the parent window.
Additionnaly, it seems that widgets are added after the window is shown, so this creates a weird effect of live resizing the window and it does not respect GNOME HIG : "Always show a window as soon as possible, but make sure your window is the correct size before displaying it. Resizing a window after it is visible is disorienting and gives an unpolished look to your application." (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows.html#windows-show-hide).
I might be wrong but I think this is why the window is not centered.
