Martin, I am always open to suggestion to how to improve yumex, maybe your
should try the current version, and let me know what you don't and how to
improve it.

click to install has recently been implemented in yumex.
install missing codecs is not very useful, because most of it exists
outside fedora (rpmfusion), so most people has to go to rpmfusion.org to
install the repos, so they also
enter the one line yum command to install all the need gstreamer codecs. It
is not something you do every day.

next mayor released will be using a yum based dbus daemon, there will make
it much simpler to use for 3. party application to performing packaging
action and is designed with simplicity in mind and not over engineered as
PackageKit, there is trying to support every package engine there exists.
