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.

OK - interestingly I decided to change the settings so that the update check was hourly - then at the next check the icon DID disappear as expected - but if it is set to never check for updates then it still seems to check and then never get rid of the icon after the yum update which I suspect is a bug in the F11 version!
I got a chance to have a little look and I was set up to do the update check daily but never to do any updates. So I updated some of the packets using yum and then packagekit updated the icon in line with what I'd done.
Then I changed the update check to hourly and updated, again using yum, the rest of the packages and it cleared the icon as expected.
I guess as you're getting the icon you must have the packagekit daemon running properly so I'm not sure where to look next.
