 	No doubt; but now that I have it, I seem to have hit one 
of those edges. It kept on endlessly saying it was waiting for 
other tasks; I did "ps ax|grep gpk" and found only one process -- 
with a question mark after the number. I killed that, and the 
icon for the update applet disappeared from the panel. But when I 
launch it again (from what used to be my pirut icon, which it has 
naturally taken over), it *still* claims to be waiting.

 	How do I find out what it's waiting for? And get a look 
at that, to see if it's really doing anything?

 	Till I do that, I can't even get a look -- to see if, for 
instance, I can wipe out all of "education" and "games" at one go
