Greetings - I just upgraded to FC6 (from FC4). It's really nice! But, because I work on custom packages - kernels, python, etc. - I'm very careful with yum updates, always doing them infrequently and by hand. To this end, I disabled starting yum-updatesd, which causes puplet to hang (actually a slow poll waiting for yum-updatesd to start). I want to disable puplet also but I cannot figure out how to do this under both GNOME and XFCE. I removed all copies of ``puplet.desktop`` from my system and looked in all the startup scripts for references but still it is (seemingly) magically started by (I guess) the window manager. Currently, I using the distributed Xorg, GDM releases with XFCE4. It is not started until I log in and my selected window manager is started, but I can't figure out how puplet is invoked. This is not a big deal, but it sure is bugging me to see "/usr/bin/python -tt /usr/bin/puplet" hanging out in the process list doing nothing, before I kill it. Dave
