The question remains, how to impede the applet that tells there are updates pending to not even start. THAT's the main question.

Wouldn't it be just as easy to ask the devs to modify the applet so that it won't run for anyone that isn't 1) UID=0 or 2) GID = a)root b)wheel c)trusted d)
??? and identified in the config file for the updater or by the dev kinda like the vboxuser has to be set in order to run virtual box....???? Then, there doesn't have to be any "list" and the root operator can select any user to be 'special' and allowed to have installs delegated to him/her.
The permission handling between the updater applet and the PackageKit daemon is actually done via PolicyKit. You can adjust its rules if necessary. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
