I not sure want you mean, yumex cant do nothing before the repodata is loaded.
I the current delelopment branch in CVS, i have integrated the progress dialog
in the output page.

Yumex is not running yum in the background, it uses the Yum Python API, so the
switches dont make much sense, most of then things you can do with switches on
yum are embedded in yumex.
The '-c' run from cache is the only feature i can think of, that is missing in
yumex.

I have made a lot of improvment to the loading of metadat in the current
development edition of Yum Extender.
