since we have the pacman lib, it's not too complicated to write an
applet for this. just an icon change and then the user clicks on it,
he/she is asked about "do you want to run -Syu in a terminal now?"

is somebody is intereted, then i can write an example console tool that
just exists with 0/1 depending on there is an update available or not.

but i won't write the applet part, sure :) (if you want to write it
using qt, here is a usefull link: http://qtnode.net/wiki/Systray
