I am not sure if anyone has commented on the
Add/Remove Software function but I find it
almost impossible to use. Following are a couple
of comments:

1) It appears that you can only Add or Remove
    one package at a time.

I have filed this one. Still on discussion about what the user interface should look like. Note that the PackageKit allows you to queue transactions. So you can install multiple packages without the UI blocking.
  I am unable to figure out how to queue up updates. that
  should be the default in any case.

If you're talking about installs rather than updates, Click install, select another item, click install. It works for me with the latest version of PK in rawhide. Any other operation that PK performs (update, refresh software list, etc) should queue in the same way.

  From an End User Perspective there should be a section
  on the panel that prints out the status of updates as they occur.
  More or less    as Yum Displays the output as each package is installed.

  There should be a section on the panel that  lists the queue of
   packages being removed, updated or installed.

There is such a list, it is part of the gpk-update-icon tray icon for the gnome panel (I don't know if it works in KDE?). When clicking on the icon it shows the current queue of operations, clicking on any one item in the queue shows the status window for that operation.
