Launching Package Kit

Okay, what is the binary for Package Kit? I have no icon for it on the menu, and I've tried launching every variation of "packagekit" I can think of from a terminal. Yum says it's installed, but I have no idea where.

you dont have it in your System > Administration > Update System ?

Nope. I have Users and Groups, Service Management, Firewall, Network Device Control, and the other things I've come to expect to be there, but no Update System, View Packages, or any such.

Okay, I've got it solved. the binary is gpk-update-viewer, installed by package gnome-packagekit.
