Just to close things off, I've logged onto the laptop, removed myself from wheel and things are working the way I want. However, if I run it from the menu and there are no updates, it simply tells me there's nothing to do and exits. I need to run it from a terminal:

yumex --update-only

if I want to be able to use it to install/uninstall stuff. I think I'm going to edit the menu entry to get it to Do What I Want.
