Would be nice if you could tell ksmarttray to update certain channels (most
notably ~/suse/update/10.1 of course) when checking for updates.

I actually thought it did something like that - but after updating some
channels manually I discovered a bunch of updates available ksmarttray hadn't
told me about. Still pretty new Smart-user.

Of course making an entire kde/qt port of the smart-gui would be very much
appreciated also :)
