Several observations, questions -- all pertaining to SL 7.2 / mate (if a KDE, etc., application/interface works under mate, such qualify as "mate"). Q1 I previously had gpk-application as the primary software GUI installer. This has been replaced by gnome-software that appears quite different. Q1.1 Is there a GUI application that will list all installed RPMs (obviously, this does not work for packages installed/built other than through the RPM methodology)? Q1.2 Is there a GUI means to select software sources (repositories) to enable/disable these at will? Q1.3 Other than a web search for an application RPM followed by the command line yum install, is there a GUI application other than gnome-software to list all available applications from all selected/installed repositories? Q2 How does yumex work in 7.2 -- the same as in 7 previous?
For me, with a single-box, single-HD 7.2 KDE plasma installation, it does Q1.1, Q1.2, Q1.3 competently with a slower but much friendlier response than the command-line; but you will probably need to have that in reserve.
There are other small glitches and changes, but nothing severe for the nonce.
