Thanks Chris - I thought it was simple enough but wasn't sure!

I haven't got that line though?
My 10periodic is:
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";

The '0' suggests it should not be invoking the window panel.
