As a followup,

I had 16 normal bug-relatd updates showing in 
Centos6.3 (timing: a few days after 6.4 was  
made available) .  After using "yum update somepackage",
"software update" gui refreshed and gave me 12 updates -- 
all totally different from before!!   surprise !!
But these were exclusively yum, rpm and packagekit.

After installation, "software update" went out and
found 440+ updates- the 6.4 version.  The "software
update" now works better than it did before also--
no blank screens or hangs...there was a few mentions 
of that action in the centos maillist bugs.

as a followup,
I generally know how to use yum and rpm.

Are the DB's and configs for:

software update  (GUI   PackageKit ?)
software add/remove (GUI)
yum
rpm 

all the same ? will sync to each other ?
do not conflict ?
