You mean Apper Monitor in the Startup Services ? I guess that's just the notifier part of the system and packagekit still starts up but you won't get notified by the Updater Appplet.
Yes I see it's just Apper Monitor. But the notifier still sits there in my system tray after a reboot, perhaps because I've yet to install the needless updates it's proposing (e.g. essentially unchanged package revisions from Packman or KDE:Extra of the type 1.0.8-1.1 -> 1.0.8-1.2). I had tried to find a use for it by unchecking the additional repos and leaving just Updates, OSS and non-OSS in order to know when there are security updates that I can then review in YaST, but playing with the repo selection in Apper rather annoyingly also then changed my chosen repos in YaST.
Just out of curiosity, do others here on this list use Apper or do you disable it and use zypper/YaST?
I, pre-{tw}13.1, uninstalled PackageKit. Cannot see much use for apper with the quality of zypper.
