A tray applet that notifies update would be a good feature, and not very hard to do. This applet just have to change its color if a media has been updated, and perhaps have a dropdown list to see which medias have been updated. A click on the media name could download do a urpmi.update and then ask the user if he wants to upgrade his packages. But how could this applet know if the user has access to Internet ? Should it care about that ? -- Olivier Blin
