I see this message in /var/log/messages over.. and over... and over. I
saw a red hat bugzilla forum from fedora 15 on up talking about this
with no resolution.. Is there a resolution??
the messages say:

Yumex is a very convenient GUI front end for yum.
so I run it as root, and it says not to.. but you can't
install/update/remove packages without being root.. what am I missing??

You should probably look at your "sessions" preference, or whatever it's
called in the desktop that you're using.
It controls what things are started up each time you log in. In my
case, it involved a lot of things I didn't need, or couldn't use
(package kit checking for program updates, non-existent bluetooth
hardware, et cetera). Sometimes, uninstalling things causes you
problems, because they want to take out a lot of other things, too.
But, you can nearly always stop those things from being run, without
unwanted extra problems cropping up.
In my MATE desktop that would be under
System-Preferences-Personal-Startup applications ( I think that is what
you mean)..
it shows a few duplicates, 2 screensavers's 1 mate 1 xscreensaver.. 2
Power Management apps, 1 Mate, 1 xfce4.. is that because I have both
Mate & XFCE4 installed?

If it helps, I don't have it installed and don't miss it. I use yumex
every morning to keep my system updated, and for most of my package
management tasks. (There are some times that using yum from a CLI is
easiest, especially if you know exactly what package you want to
install/remove.)
thanks. I did remove it. I always do a yum update every morning
anyway.
If I find something I can't do, I can always reinstall. what is yumex??
no man page for it..

what will I miss or not be able to do without packagekit?
Try it to see.
Just don't pass -y to yum so you can elect to cancel, if you don't
like the dependent packages being removed.

If your unsure and you cannot assign a value to doing something in this
situation then I would suggest you leave well enough alone.

PackageKit is system activated and quits when not being used to save
CPU/memory etc. See /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf to control this.
