Tried yumex from testing on a three machines. Installs OK but generates pages of warnings. The unique ones are:
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `angle' for class `GtkLabel' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `ellipsize' for class `GtkLabel' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `ellipsize' for class `GtkProgressBar' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `focus_on_map' for class `GtkDialog' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `focus_on_map' for class `GtkWindow' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `hover_expand' for class `GtkTreeView' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `hover_selection' for class `GtkTreeView' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `single_line_mode' for class `GtkLabel' (yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `width_chars' for class `GtkLabel'
At run-time, finds packages to update and does so successfully, but then pops up a request window with a light bulb and options "OK" and "Cancel". Clicking either does nothing but the box can be closed by clicking the "x" in the top-right corner. The application is still alive and can be exited cleanly from the "File" menu.
Output from the window follows:

The Help/About window shows similar button behavior - "Close" has no effect but window can be closed by "x".
Can't find an existing entry at bugs.centos.org. Could create one, but perhaps the packager should initiate it.
