I tried this, and I get:

No such schema 'org.gnome.wm.preferences'

I suspect that's related to why the xml file doesn't work.

Do you mean that if you issue "yum whatprovides vlc and then a few minutes later
issue "yum whatprovides gimp" the download occurs again?

AIUI, that fee isn't to get your arbitrary boot loader signed, it's to 
*gain access* to the certification process.  Presumably you still have 
to have your code audited to make sure that it does what it says it does 
and only what it says it does.  Still, I'd be a lot happier if the 
certification were done by a neutral third-party instead of by a 
corporation with the anti-competitive reputation that MS has.

sometimes it is a good idea to read manuals!

"metadata_expire" is your friend and after that "yum clean metadata"
if you want to force the search for updates

http://linux.die.net/man/5/yum.conf

keepcache Either '1' or '0'.
Determines whether or not yum keeps the cache of headers and packages after successful installation.

metadata_expire Time (in seconds) after which the metadata will expire.
So that if the current metadata downloaded is less than this many seconds
old then yum will not update the metadata against the repository.

    Yup, they are wrong. They left forgot to mention the Brief 
disclaimer on top:

        - while I work for Red Hat, I'm only going to be talking about 
Fedora here.
         Anything written below represents only my opinions and my work

         not Red Hat's opinions or future plans)

     Appears at the moment Garrett is toying with the idea but it has 
not been officially approved by redhat
     However it has been memtioned that on x86 systens,  users will be 
able to turn off the secure boot feature, hopefully
