I think you mean pk-update-icon since gpk-update-icon does not
exist any more in 12.1. The former only depends on GTK2,
libunique, libnotify and the PackageKit Glib bindings, it is
currently hardwired to run gpk-update-viewer when clicked, so
that may or may not be acceptable for KDE users.
I'm planning to rewrite it on top of zypper and YaST Online
Update, that should be a bit more desktop agnostic.
