This is more of an Ubuntu issue, so it would be appropriate to address
it to xubuntu-users, for example.

I'm not sure. For starters, what version of Ubuntu? Here on 10.04 the
icon appears automatically in systray when updates are available. The
only thing that seems relevant in Settings is the 'check for updates
daily' and 'notify about updates'. Otherwise, try your luck on an
Ubuntu list.
