gpk-prefs has no effect whatsoever under KDE Plasma sessions, where Apper is 
used, not gnome-packagekit.

There is a setting for the frequency of checking in Apper (and "a few 
minutes" isn't even an option, the minimum is hourly), but it doesn't work, 
see the bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752564 already 
linked by the original poster.

There's also this bug filed about the slowness and insane CPU consumption of 
the checks:
