|    I don't know.  I have been running XFCE a bit.  It has locked down
| my login screen so that if I want to run anything else, I must
| deliberately select it.  The run-whatever-I-ran-last-time feature is
| disabled.  Once, a long time ago, I tried out XFCE, and it screwed up
| my Gnome settings.  On the whole, XFCE is a nice window manager, but I
| am suspicious.

I've not tried XFCE but some Gnome 3 desktop shell refugees recommend
it.

I would have thought that it wasn't dangerous to the health of your
system.

|    I am trying to install updates.  I am running kpackagekit.  It says
| I have 779 updates pending.  When I try to install them all, I get an
| error message "An error occurred while running the transaction.  More
| information is available in the detailed report."  The detailed report
| identifies the offending package.  If I delete that from the list, I
| get another offending package.  It looks like I can do updates one at a
| time.  Nine at a time seems to have worked. 

When in doubt, consider using "yum update" from the command line.  For
one thing, I expect any diagnostics to appear on stdout in a reasonable
way.

With that many updates, you might find that you've filled some
filesystem.  Linux generally behaves oddly when it is out of space.
By that I mean: not only does it not work but the symptoms are often
cryptic.
