How to I disable just that notification for that app only? I want to keep the version of gqview I have as it works correctly.

Hi,

I managed to kill the process in 10.04. It's called update notifier, but
you need to select "view -- > all processes", in the system monitor
before you can see it. I'm not sure if you can kill it permanently
though, if you can, it will be from within the app's settings.
