gpk-update-icon checks for updates shortly after login, even if the preference is set to 'never'. This causes the update icon to light up on the live cd (if updates are available) which is unfortunate, since installing updates on the live cd doesn't do much good.
Created attachment 302868 [details] test patch I'll give this a go now on my local setup.
It seems to work fine here, I've pushed this to master and stable.
Does the comment above mean that there's going to be a new version of gnome-packagekit in F9, and that when it becomes available in Rawhide and I install it, gpk-update-icon will no longer launch on login? I've done everything I can think of to get it to stop launching, and yet there it is, every time I log in. Is that going to be fixed?
Yes, new snapshot will be in rawhide tomorrow
