More likely KPackage, which is the package manager which comes with KDE 4 and 
which uses smart internally. But of course smart-gui could also be considered.

Another alternative would be Synaptic or the KDE version Kynaptic which is what 
ArkLinux uses (but which isn't in the repo yet, the GTK+-based Synaptic is and 
works fine). Those use apt-rpm internally.

And finally there's yumex, which uses yum. Maybe (being yum-based) that's the 
best fallback if we can't get PackageKit to work and pirut/pup is dropped? It's 
GTK+-based though, but so are both PackageKit-gnome and pirut/pup as well as 
some of the alternatives.

(There's also KYum, but I don't think that's a good idea to ship, as it's long 
dead upstream and has known unfixed bugs, some really bad ones like corrupting 
the .repo file for Livna.)
