It wouldn't tkae too much effort to swap out the PackageKit
backend in pk-update-icon with a zypper-based one, in fact I do
already have a parser for zyppers XML output from some
experiments last year. It uses GTK+ but the UI consists only of a
tray icon and notification bubble which would open "yast2
online_update" when activated so it should not look alien in KDE.
So if there's a rough consensus that we want to go with a minimal
notifier and update via YaST's online_update module I could put
something together.
