I haven't found a solution to the Plasma Resources problem yet, but the 
yumex problem was because sudo activates /usr/bin/bash as the shell, 
while /etc/shells had /bin/bash.  I added /usr/bin/bash and yumex works 
fine.  As far as I can tell, I am not missing any plasma resource 
(unless there is a resource for saving special window settings).
