One thing though. :)

Does the applet allow running "smart update" by normal users? By _all_ users?
That is not safe (I know it does not do any serious harm, but you should still
not allow it by default - even though it only updates the cache - cache updates
should be controlled by the superuser).

Actually the applet should not run "smart update". There should be a cron job
which does that. The applet should just check if there are new updates - without
trying to update the local cache. If the applet would just do that, it would not
need root permissions. Of course you need root permissions to actually upgrade
the packages, but then you launch the gui which asks password with consolehelper.
