Can you use Gnome's update manager to upgrade packages with pacman?

I've been wondering if I could install the update manager found in other distros and use it to update my Arch system.  It would be much nicer to have a notification icon pop up when there are available updates then remembering to type 'sudo pacman -Syu' in the terminal all the time.

See http://code.google.com/p/pacupdate/ and http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19068

Install and enjoy!

There's also Shaman [+ qgtkstyle-svn, since it's QT] if you want a full package management GUI, like Synaptic.
