Ah, OK, understand. I don't use zmd but still have it hanging around in the system tray.
What happens if you right click on the icon and either QUIT it or reconfigure its settings? I know that with some icon there (I don't remember which one) I QUIT on it and it disappeared and I could only bring it back by selecting the "service" in the Start/System or wherever it was shown.
You can't access the GUI if the service isn't running. (I never thought of re-enabling the service temporarily... Doh!) On startup you get an error, and acknowledging it (click OK) causes the updater to quit, but still reappear next login. No opportunity to change any config or anything.
However, by digging I found the solution (as root):
# cd /etc/xdg # cp -ar autostart autostart.disabled # rm autostart/zen-updater-auto.desktop
Now when you login the updater won't start. The xdg folder is part of the fledgling cross desktop compatability standard. -- Steve Boddy
Worked for me, thanks.
Hmmm. I did an update with smart last night, and part of that was a raft of yast/zmd/libzypp updates. After this update I had to disable the novell-zmd service, and get rid of the icon again. I suppose I should just remove zmd altogether.
