I already apologized to Rahul in previous message for confusing the issue. I was at the end of my patience when GNOME suddenly disappeared so I was not thinking clearly. I have never really seceded in using the automatic update feature. On my machine I send the notification to dbus and get a balloon saying that updates are available and I can do the updates. As someone one commented in the bug reported the current program is over-engineered.. The simple cron entry worked pretty well. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
