I had the identical problem after packagekit sneaked in. One day I woke up and had a new kernel.*** There is a dialog to make the facility passive but for some reason, it does not show up when I am logged in as user. I log in as root and there it is. There are two dialogs:
(1) show history
(2) control packagekit

I set mine to "do nothing" so I still get alerts down in the panel!

One that day I started getting a dialog after logging in as root saying one should not run packagekit as a privileged user. AND I didn't even ask for it!

Recently there was an update to packagekit that reset my settings to automatic...do updates silently...and some stuff sneaked in!

I always watch my yum update output
