This still isn't working for me either.. I was hoping someone would have
an idea ;(...

at least in the current up2date GUI, you can flag packages to be
skipped.If you just want to update one package (and dependancies), you can
use "yum upgrade gaim".

If you are on the network, you can use up2date from the command line
(--install?), or yum to install software.  For example "yum install gaim".
