Kpackagekit doesn't notify for new updates unless KDE logout/login

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

Hi,

(This is no duplicate of #342017 nor #472518)

With Kubuntu versions prior to Karmic, adept_updater was notifying for new updates everyday.

With Karmic and kpackagekit, new updates notifications are displayed only some minutes after KDE user login, but are never displayed again if the user doesn't logout/login daily (i.e. on a machine that stays up 24/7 and a user that leaves his session open, relying for example on screesaver+password, the kpackagekit updates notification will never be displayed).
