How about "DBUS-based package management service"?

If one uses "yum search", then there is no easy clicking. Also it is imho a 
better user experience, if the different players are easier to distinguish 
with a GUI, if they all have more or less only the information "this is an 
media player", it would be probably better to only display a category summary 
for them on the GUI.
