I expect gconftool will sanity check the input. Editing the XML directly and missing out a / or a > etc. will cause all sorts of problems. Plus you need to be root to edit that XML file, which is more risky in general.

Presumably it also handles conflicts, cache flushes, notification of changes, etc.

To modify the update frequency, the command to use is:
Code:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval --type=int 10000000
Similarly to set the blink-after value (though I don't think that needs setting).

Oh, and you can run all this as the normal user, no need to be root.

You can check it using gconftool as well:
Code:
gconftool-2 --get /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval
