Maybe it helps to define what is needed in order to find a tool. And if there 
is none to understand what to focus on in order to improve the situation with 
the apps available.

- not blocking zypper
- maintained graphical front-end (notifier and patch list etc.)
- maintained back-end
- installing patches/updates without root password
- ability to set permissions per user/action regarding package management
- ability to check for patches only or patches plus updates from buildservice 
repos (even better if one can define which repos to check)
