Update Information:

This update disables the automatic background installation of security updates, which was previously enabled by default. This change is to work around the problem reported as bug #755335: as there is no user notification that the automatic update is taking place, and no mechanism to prevent system shutdown while the update is in progress, the user may shut down the system while the automatic update is taking place, potentially corrupting the RPM or yum database and rendering the system broken, or damaging files related to the package being updated at the time of shutdown.

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.  Use 
su -c 'yum update gnome-settings-daemon' at the command line.
