OK, now we are getting somewhere. my ./config/yumex/yumex.conf has
autorefresh=1 even though the GUI preferences has "Autocheck for updates"
unchecked. Curious and curiouser. WHat else do you have checked? I have "Load
packages on launch" and "show newest only is active by defaut'.
I have nothing else changed from the default. I just want to start yumex without
autocheck because I often use it to check availability of certain packages and
don't want to wait for yumex to check for updates which sometimes takes an awful
long time to no avail.
