[packagekit] How do you determine if an update needs a reboot/logout?

Do you know if yum takes also into account these metadata?
Because, yum have never told me to restart after a "yum update", and since
PackageKit requires to restart sometimes, I wonder if there is not a bug in
yum. I wouldn't want to use yum if it doesn't indicate when a restart is
required.

Another unrelated question: is it possible to show the full output of the
backends PackageKit is using?

For example, I think PackageKit uses something like "yum update" in Fedora
to update the packages.
I'd like an option to show in a window the full output of what yum does.

Thanks.
