[2012-08-18 15:35]: Btw. the only alternative I see would be installing the gnome-packagekit applet on KDE (not tested whether that will work). I'm not sure we want that...
There is no gnome-packagekit applet any more since it was integrated into gnome-settings-daemon, you can however use pk-update-icon (https://gitorious.org/opensuse/pk-update-icon) which should work fine with KDE. It won't solve the underlying issues with PK though. Apart from that, wasn't the main issue with PK that the zypp backend was using uneccesarily locking for some operations? At least I remember reading something like that a while ago, though I can't find it in the ML archives right now with all the noise regarding PK.
All the serious Apper bugs bar one are actually in PK or the zypp backend https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725570 is possibly Apper specific and would cause the zypper/packagekitd lock contention, but I don't have a way to reproduce it in 12.2. So using pk-update-icon wouldn't help much.
