-e for Elimination

After noticing that the annoying and useless (for me) orange star has no setting "go away forever", I concluded it was time to use "rpm -e". However, we have another case of House That Jack Built: system-config-printer needs /usr/bin/system-install-packages (because, you know, it wants to pull printer drivers for you automagically). But the system-install-packages is a part of the gnome front-end, not PackageKit itself (why? a mystery), and that includes the orange star (it's called pk-update-icon). Godly.

At least it's not a throbbing red eye, and not restarted when killed. Also, Yet Another Sneaky Daemon They Sprung On My System While I Looked The Other Way (packagkitd) quetly disappears after a while, releasing my precious memory. I sense some good intent here, but it's not good enough.

P.S. I'm testing if "Check for Updates: Never" and then killing means "go away".

P.P.S. Nope, it still restarts on the next login, and checks for updates. What part of "never" is unclear here?
