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.
Well interestingly I set the preferences to never check for updates or major upgrades and to never install and yet it still does pop up so it must still actually check for updates - I know that I could uninstall gnome packagekit altogether but it is a bit disconcerting that it appears to still check for updates when you asked it not to!
To be honest I probably did the same thing because I'd rather update things when I want to but I'm not actually by the machine at the moment - it's at home. I'll try and see what I have it set to tonight and let you know.
