This don't sounds sane to me.

Ex.
yum-updatesd are in the process of installing some updates.
The user are running 'yum install foo' and then 'yum-updatesd' should 
just f... off, in the middle of  the RPM transaction.

It think the best way to handle this issue is to make the applet show it 
have started some work in the background.
