Like Tim and unlike Mark, I also have trouble with this--I believe
this is a selinux-enabled problem with respect to PackageKit/PolicyKit
and VNC sessions, at least based on the googling that I've been able
to do. I've tried changing policy from my actual console (which is
inconveniently 7 feet off the ground in the garage), but have thus far
been unable to have much luck--I haven't tried completely wide-open
policies though. I did install yumex for finding installables,
however. I use 'yum update' from the command line for regular updating.

I don't think its selinux cause I disabled it and still can't use the
gui package manager. I'd file a bug, but its so obviously intentionally
designed behavior that I doubt they'd take it seriously.
stuck with the cmd line... shame they wasted time makeing the gui...
