From these two meesages
Code:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so:  cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: c

it would appear that you need to install the following RPMs:

- PackageKit-gtk-module
- libcanberra

You can use yum to install them as they are available in the official repositories.

1) yum install PackageKit-gtk-module
Package PackageKit-gtk-module-0.6.21-2.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version

2) yum install libcanberra
Package libcanberra-0.28-3.fc16.x86_64 already installed and latest version
