Donna has a very good point.

Maybe this would work, when you login as Admin it does a check for  
upgrade. If it's available, next to the version, which could be  
changed to "Current version: 1.x.x      New version: 1.xy". The "New  
version" could be linked to either the one-click upgrade you mentioned  
or directly where to download it from joomla.org. The "New version"  
would only appear if there was indeed a newer stable version available  
over the current one installed. Highlighted with a different color.  
This could be configured as Admin for those who want to know about  
even beta versions. Also, this would be a good area to alert about new  
patches especially for security updates.

For those who might always be logged in as Admin, the script could  
check every 24 hours if a new upgrade is available.
