kpackage settings do not stick

[Endy]

I'm having a problem with the kpackagekit settings.  I have set it to 
check for updates daily, not hourly, and not to ever automatically 
install updates.  Yet, it seems like after every time I use kpackagekit 
to run updates or install new packages, those settings get reset to the 
defaults: checking every hour, and automatically apply security updates.

Anyone else seeing the same behavior or have any suggestions?

(yes, i do click the 'apply' button after making my desired setting 
changes ;) )
