Just to close things off, I've logged onto the laptop, removed myself
from wheel and things are working the way I want. However, if I run
it from the menu and there are no updates, it simply tells me there's
nothing to do and exits. I need to run it from a terminal:
yumex --update-only
if I want to be able to use it to install/uninstall stuff. I think
I'm going to edit the menu entry to get it to Do What I Want.
I just installed F17 (last night) and then did an install of yumex. At
first there were updates. But since then I have started it from the
application icon and it does not exit with nothing to do. It just
provides a blank list to update, then I have to select the available
button to get the list of what I can add. I would really like an option
where it goes right into available packages, as I do not normally use
yumex for updates. That I typically do directly via yum update.
