MSU.app doesn't pop up on Login window with non-apple keyboard about munki HOT 5 CLOSED

This probably isn't fixable. managedsoftwareupdate is being run as a launchd agent that runs in the loginwindow context; in other words, the managedsoftwareupdate job is loaded (and possibly run) when the loginwindow is started. If the Keyboard Assistant is running, I'm guessing the loginwindow is not running (not even "behind" the Keyboard Assistant) and therefore managedsoftwareupdate cannot run.

I logged in via ssh and noted that it was indeed running in the background. I only noticed because I tried running managedsoftwareupdate --auto via ARD on it and it returned an error saying it was already running.

I just tried a variation on this, and loginwindow is definitely running, but the attempt to launch MSU.app is failing with a kLSUnknownErr (-10810) which makes it feel like the OS is causing the attempted launch to fail...

I don't doubt the OS is causing the issue. I noticed it today and had never even thought of using a non-apple keyboard. If it is something that cannot be fixed via munki, it is no biggy, I just thought it was a rather interesting occurance. In all honestly, anyone who is using OS X with non-Apple keyboards should have the prefs that the wizard creates already present on the image/machine build to prevent that popup from occuring. Having that wizard pop up in the first place would be rather messy on a standard image.

No additional work will be done on MSU.app. If this issue also affects Munki 2, please open a new issue.
