If such a CD were prepared and users installed the content of the live CD to their hard drive, those things would remain missing. Yum wouldn't fix it.
It would not automatically be fixed by a yum update, but I see no reason yum could not be used to install missing packages. Having a script to use yum to bring in things missing from a default desktop install, as Les suggests, might be a good touch.
