I've installed yum-updatesd on my server (run level 3) and nothing seems to happen. It hasn't reported any updates for a long time, whether on F11 or F12. Yum update works, however.
The service is running: root 1940 0.0 0.9 28820 9616 ? SN 13:51 0:00 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd
The conf file is as follows. I've also tried to have it output to syslog.
[main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 14400 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = email email_to = root@localhost # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes
# automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no

What happens if you manually do yum update? It's likely there is some reason it didn't update. Maybe had to ask your permission for a new key, or maybe a conflict. Too bad it doesn't tell you.

I don't enable updates in yum-updatesd, just notification.
