run system-config-services from the command line and look for
"yum-updatesd". If that service is running, you have nothing more to
do. My system alerts me periodically when updates are available.
Further to that:
the icon is from puplet {the pup applet}. Once you have
applied any outstanding updates, a minute or so later, puplet hides it's
icon. If the yum-updatesd eventually finds some extra updates, it
informs puplet so that the icon will then be displayed again.
