I'm curious if official people > agree with this? Doing an updater applet for Gnome is really easy. But we should see if it is possible to extend the zen-updater to make it multi-backend. Basically a direct-system applet does: start, every X time, launches /usr/sbin/zypp-check-patches-wrapper parses xml output and display it in a fancy mode. offers a button to launch yast2 inst_source and yast2_onlineupdate That is. All the logic, caching, etc, is in zypp helper. Perhaps a nice chance for the communty to contribute some lines of code.
