On the other hand on my F11 machine when the updates notification pops up, if I use yum to update the system then the icon remains and does not magically disappear from the taskbar until I log out and back in again - this is with the gnome desktop.
Am I alone or do other users see this also? It is not a major problem but is a slight irritation!
I'm running F11 and Gnome and sometimes I use yum or if I'm feeling lazy I just click on the PackageKit icon and let it do the updates. Either way the icon goes away afterwards. Sometimes it may take a few minutes because PackageKit obviously has to do the equivalent of a yum check-update to see what you've updated. I know this because if do a yum from the command line and only update some of the packages and then try immediately to do another yum update there is a lock in place.
I think I'd be irritated if it didn't go away because it should allow you to use yum in preference to the GUI.
Sorry not to be more help. Kelly
