Sorry for my misunderstanding you. It's been a busy day.

- From the documentation I gather, that update-manager would probably work
on kde, but that it just checks, if the package information has changed.
This would have to occur either manually or by some cron job, cron-apt
etc. So _at least_ it requires reading some manuals and manual
configuration. update-notifier also does not suggest or recommend
cron-apt or any other backend to commit the required 'aptitude update'.
I will check, if adept-notifier will work in a more straightforward manner.
Friendly regards,
