Looks nice.. but normally you would set the value once and forget about it, and that only involves a gconf call, so I doubt this program will be so useful.. (no "everyday use" 
Still, thanks a lot for the app!

I'm personally OK with the dbus calls to prevent auto-updates for the number of days I'll be abroad, but a) not every user is comfy with xterm/script files and b) I'm lazy enough that having a UI is way better than remembering the dbus syntax or the name of my own script fle that contains the dbus command :-)
Nica app Robokopp, thanks.

And a GUI is always easier to use than resorting to some commandlines like I have done until now.
Will try this app.
EDIT: one remark: the proper spelling when selecting 0 days should be "deactivated", not "deaktivated"

Here is my new small tool called Updateconfigurator.
You can change the value of updatechecks from 1-99 days or 0 if you want to deactivate it at all.
If you wish to restore default settings, iīve implemented a function for that.
It is available in Extras-Devel

694 days is ~2 years :P Drop another two 0's to make it a very improbable value
