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.

gconf is the configuration system for GTK, and gconftool (or gconftool-2) is the application used to interact with this system. You can get help on gconftool-2 by running "gconftool-2 --help".
To modify the update frequency, the command to use is:
Similarly to set the blink-after value (though I don't think that needs setting).Code:gconftool-2 --set /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval --type=int 10000000
Oh, and you can run all this as the normal user, no need to be root.
