The orange star is part of PackageKit, it is the default (should be only) 
package system for F9 now.  The other is puplet, part of pirut.  You do not need 
pirut any longer.  You should be able to rpm -e pirut.  Although 
system-config-printer depends on system-install-packages and thats being put 
into PackageKit so it might not remove easily yet.

My systems seem to work.

With the new version it should have an option to keep the notification from 
showing when you've got setroubleshoot open already.  I haven't checked whether 
that is in the version in rawhide yet, but John Dennis got that added after an 
RFE bug I posted for it.
