Actually, I think that the Redhat Package Management tool that comes 
with Fedora should be modified to work with yum and additional 
repositories.  You should be able to switch to a more detailed view of 
packages if you want and  track all packages on the system.  In other 
words a TRUE package management tool.

I think this discussion should be on fedora-desktop-list.
