This is caused by the "smart icon" in KPackageKit using the KPackageKit settings for automatic updates. Since we don't use KPackageKit settings and Apt already has its own setting and ability for automatic updates we can just remove the feature from the smart icon. This patch does so. I have uploaded to lucid-proposed awaiting approval from ubuntu-sru. Unfortunately I can't work out how to change the package for this Launchpad bug to kpackagekit.
