Hi Duncan, Cool there is now a Gnome version, but I wonder why not make a YaST module out of it. The icon systray could be added easily, and the table/tree should be made more flexible anyway. We would get both interfaces for free, plus we can make some hooks for the terminal easier (we could have a module to report security updates, that the user could print at login, or mail to him, or whatever, allowing the user to fire the patches window from there). zypper and yast-ncurses can already be combined to do this, but just a thought...

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:

Just email me for any question!
cheers
