The package manager which is present as an icon in the system tray of a Plasma desktop. I assume this is the front-end of the package PackageKit. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
