The plot thickens. As I said earlier, I removed the updates widget since I always use dnf. However it has now reappeared without me explicitly re-installing it. Maybe something else dragged it in, I'll need to check. Same thing happened to PackageKit, which I had also removed. Anyway, seeing the notification pop up made me look more carefully and lo and behold, the systray widget does indeed allow me to update from the GUI, contrary to what I thought. I'm guessing that earlier I had just noticed the notification and not the widget. It would be easy to add something to the notification message to say "click on the systray widget to update" or similar. Better leave it at that for now. I'll get back to it if anything interesting shows up. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
