It will check for updates however often you ask it to in the Preferences

I presume that it means that if you tell it to check hourly, the icon
will return every hour to check for updates in your subscribed
repositories.
By default, it checks for updates every day, so the icon comes back when
it checks for updates once you turn on your computer (and obviously
stays if it finds any), but if it doesn't find any updates, it will
close again. (Which I think is better than the always-visible icon of
yesteryear).
Hope that helps :-).

OpenSUSE 11.0 with Gnome, on amd x86_64.
When I boot up the system, I see the green or orange sun at the bottom
which is the online update applet.
Once I have inspected and applied the updates, this icon disappears.
On Suse 10.3, it would remain and I could tell it to check again.
I only see this icon again when I reboot and often immediately see new
updates, which makes me think the applet stops running after the first
time it updates anything.
