Description of problem:
redhat-config-packages seems to have frozen while computing package dependencies.

First I opened redhat-config-packages, and selected OpenOffice, gnucash, xpdf,
and WindowMaker to install.  Dependencies were computed fine without problems. 
I saw that the size of the packages to be added was too big for the amount of
available disk space left.  I cancelled that installation.

Then I selected only WindowMaker to be installed.  It got installed fine.

Then I went back and try to install OpenOffice only.  At this point, while
computing dependencies, the package management tool seems to be frozen.  The
"Preparing system update" dialog box is open and the progress bar is at about
70% done.  It has stopped there, and pressing the "Cancel" button does not do
anything.  The window does not close.  However, both windows (the main
redhat-config-packages window and the dialog window) are responsive when I move
them on the screen.  I mean, they do get redrawn correctly, which makes me think
it hasn't really frozen.

This whole sequence of steps was done without closing the package management app
in between.

I am attaching the output of 'ps auxfw' in a file (ps.auxfw.output.txt), to see
the state of all the programs running at the time of the freeze.

Then if I press the "x" on the upper right corner of the dialog window to close
it, it does get closed, and I can hit "Update" again.  It then starts to compute
package dependencies again, but it gets stuck again, and the "Cancel" button
does not do anything.

I close the dialog window again with the window manager.  Then I press 
"Cancel" in the main window of the package management app. and it does get closed.

Then I launch the package management app again.
I select the "Office/Productivity" section again, and de-select MrProject and
xpdf, and leave OpenOffice selected.
Then I press "Update".  This time the computation of dependencies is completed
and the "Completed System Preparation" dialog shows up.
The installation of StarOffice then proceeds correctly.
