So one cool feature I learned about a while ago (that you may already
know about) with yum is you can do

yum install /usr/bin/umbrello

or whatever the full path to the program is, and it will automatically
grab the right package.  Of course, that feature is only useful if you
already know the name of the binary, and where it's getting installed
to.

Couldn't agree more.  For a while we shipped gcalctool and zenity in
gnome-utils.  it was a maintainability nightmare.
