Hi!
I have a local repository configured in my yum repos, so this applet/deamon/cron job is not finding any mirrors (which it shouldn't even be looking for, in this case).
The window icon is the same as the [System] -> [Administration] -> [Add/Remove Software] icon.
Any suggestions as to how to turn this off?
First try to run "yum update" on the comman line - the messages it shows might help to find the reason for the behaviour.
Anoter idea: run "yum clean all" to clean packages stored in local cache as well as downloaded metadata. On the next start yum will download them again. This helped me sometimes when yum behaved strage.
