It has never worked for me.  Or maybe it did in the early days of yumex, 
but definitely not F20 or F18.  Just got really frustrated with it this

Yes I **KNOW** I have updates to apply.  I will get to it and I am 
perfectly capable of running 'yum update' from a command line.  I use 
yumex when I am looking for something, like recently about what might be 
available as an amplifier program.
