There is no zypp backend, now that is PackageKit. 

Find thread:
Re: [opensuse-factory] Which repo to use for updater testing in 11.2A.0?
***************
The fact is that for GNOME, we used PackageKit already for 11.0. The zypper 
backend was used in KDE only, because this applet is openSUSE-specific. Right 
after release of 11.0, we switched the default backend for kupdateapplet to 
PackageKit.

But the whole point is that PackageKit seems to be future of the trivial 
package management on Linux (it's goal clearly states it does not want to 
become another Synaptic/YaST packagemanager/....). Thus, we will also actively 
look into KPackageKit to be a replacement for kupdateapplet.
