For what it's worth, many people on the Fedora forums find that they
have issues with PackageKit still, and use yumex instead.  

The main developer, Richard Hughes, does seem happy to work on bugs when
reported.

Spike: We like to talk big... vampires do. 'I'm going to destroy 
the world.' That's just tough-guy talk. Strutting around with 
your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I _like_ this 
world. You've got...dog racing, Manchester United. And you've 
got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals 
with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along 
with a vision. With a real... passion for destruction. Angel 
could pull it off. Good-bye, Picadilly. Farewell,
