You can now test a new package - kde3-kupdateapplet This is an icon that sits in system tray and notifies if there are any official updates available. Note that it only reports official updates (and acssociated bug reports) so if you have additional repositories attached (such as LibreOffice:Stable) the update may lead to a version downgrade (so choose the updates smartly).
