That would probably handle a lot of cases like the one at hand > nicely. +1, that's what I was just about to suggest. When I look into the critical path list, I see that there are also Xfce packages in there. This is due to xfce4-notifyd and notification-daemon both providing "desktop-notification-daemon". At the point where xfce4-notifd gets pulled in, the notification-daemon and it's deps were already processed, so I don't understand why yum adds another 5 packages added (xfce4-notifyd, libsexy, xfconf, libxfce4util and libxfcegui4).
