.. you have this:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows7/windows-update-error-0x80243004
"If you receive Windows Update error 0x80243004 when Windows Update checks
for new updates, the error means that the notification icon for Windows
Update has disappeared. This prevents Windows Update from installing new
updates."
I wait until the error happens on Debian, maybe as
"Cron cannot run because there is no gnome-cron-applet-icon in the current
user session"
The current direction of the Linux ecosystem and discussions ("Linux
desktop needs Gnome and Gnome needs systemd and systemd grabs udev and..
in short Gnome=systemd=Linux") makes it a quite likely scenario in the
future.
How did the Windows update error appear?
Maybe one developer wrote the code and released it. He had an Update icon
on its desktop to send the important message "The update is running" to.
After release they got complaints from obnoxious people called users.
The developer was faced with the bug.
Solution: "Make the icon mandatory and crate an error code!"
Brilliant, just reminds me of .. nevermind.

Reminds me of a story from the Hitchiker's Guide (to the Galaxy) - the
take-off
of some craft was experiencing a delay while awaiting pink paper napkins: had
been on the tarmac for 7,000 years (or some other long time)...

Which reminds me of when someone couldn't shutdown a version of Microsoft Windows but
couldn't understand why the error message was referring to an audio problem. It turned
out the audio file that was supposed to play when shutting down had been corrupted &
couldn't be played, halting the shutdown process.
Another similar example from Hitchiker's Guide (to the Galaxy):- Before the B ark
passengers would build a wheel marketing had to decide what color it should be.
