Comment:

 Hi Rorschach,
   Thanks for reporting and writing patch for this.
 I had thought about this, and decided not kill packagekitd few months ago.
 So it's a feature.

 packagekitd will terminate itself automatically after 5 mins without
 requests.

 GUI users will not know the existence of packagekitd, it's transparent.
 For power users, I think they will know how to deal with packagekitd. (Use
 it or kill it) :-P

 Cheers,
 Tick
