 FWIW the Mac OS X update dialog looks almost exactly like this, and
shows running applications you should close before running the update.

 I've asked for this feature before too, it's actually already there but
hidden in the right click menu (at least for doing security only
updates).
 Of course it's currently broken due to the fact I have:

% sudo yum updateinfo
Loaded plugins: aliases, keys, noop, presto, ps, security
Updates Information Summary: available
      4 Security notice(s)
    105 Bugfix notice(s)
     23 Enhancement notice(s)

...but PK refuses to do anything but update it's own 6 packages for a
minor specfile change.
