I already apologized to Rahul in previous message for confusing the
issue. I was at the end of my patience when GNOME suddenly disappeared
so I was not thinking clearly. I have never really seceded in using the
automatic update feature. On my machine I send the notification to dbus
and get a balloon saying that updates are available and I can do the
updates.


As someone one commented  in the bug reported the current program is
over-engineered.. The simple cron entry worked pretty well.
