It is indeed a GUI for the wrong thing. Redhat provides you up2date for
your package management. it comes with its own GUI. 

If you're not happy with that, you can use apt. Synaptic is said to be a
nice GUI for that.

kpackage makes low-level rpm operations too easy, instead of just
possible :-)

One problem with such GUIs is that they lock the rpm database while
they're running (not just while installing packages).
