If I remember correctly, you are running Fedora. The offending application is called Pirut. The best solution is to remove it from the system entirely. At the command line, as root: # rpm -e pirut This will remove the offender. A superior GUI replacement (from my perspective) is yumex. Install it as root like so: # yum install yumex The above commands could also be run as a regular user using sudo like so: $ sudo rpm -e pirut $ sudo yum install yumex and is actually the preferred way of doing administrative things on your system. Notice the change in prompt from # for root to $ as a regular user. This is by convention. You will first have to have set up sudo to allow you run those commands. Read the man page for more info.
