The openSUSE updater is a desktop applet which shows the user the available 
updates (patches). It is very light and simple as the real work is done by 
the YaST solver. This allows us to provide one applet per desktop, much like 
you have a a NetworkManager applet per desktop.

The KDE applet was born last year as a Google SoC project. Today I imported 
the opensuseupdater KDE applet sources from berlios to 
svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp. The gnome applet was already in the zypp 
repository.

There is a new wiki page for both the KDE and Gnome applet.
* http://en.opensuse.org/Updater_Applet

The sources for both applets are located here:

* http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/updater-gnome/
* 
http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/branches/SuSE-Linux-10_2-Branch/updater-kde/

Also, there is a work branch for the KDE applet where a major refactoring is 
going on to cleanup legacy code from SoC, use cmake as build system and load 
the backends as KDE plugins. It will become trunk once it works:

http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/branches/work/updater-kde-refactoring/updater-kde/

Just email me for any question!

cheers
