I also have stopped getting notifications of updates on the desktop after the upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3 Also yum-updatesd sometimes reports "failed" on shutdown The only other symptom is that if i login to the desktop if i open up a terminal and do "yum update" then there is a process that has lock through the yum pid but this goes away much more quickly than it used to. no big deal in any way, just a bit odd mike
