It is possible to run yumex in KDE.
(In reply to comment #1) > It is possible to run yumex in KDE. Yes, yumex is a gtk app, so it should run in KDE without any problems.
This is not an yumex issue, it is some kind of gtk/X issue. Try 'xhost +' and the run 'yumex'
Thank you. This works. ( and solves some other problems )
