First, I have problems tracking your messages since you use a mailer
that doesn't support the headers necessary for threaded display of
mails. That's kind of insufficient for a high-traffic mailing-list.

Second, you don't autowrap your lines at around 72 characters, which
makes them difficult to read on terminals and upon replying.

Third, it is still not clear when exactly that happens what you 
describe. Your description should be more detailed rather than
complaining that no one answers to your messages. The first tiny
window that opens when you run redhat-config-packages as an
_ordinary_ user (!) is consolehelper gtk (from the "usermode"
package) which asks you for the superuser password. If it is that
window that is terminates immediately, try re-installing both
redhat-config-packages (from your CDs) and "usermode". If you mean a
different window (I think you've mentioned calculation of
dependencies), I don't understand why you don't get any error output
in the parent terminal, like a Python traceback or a segfault.

Fourth, consider verifying your set of installed packages with
"rpm -Va" or as I recommend regularly:

  # rpm -qa | xargs -n 1 -t rpm -V &> rpm-Va.txt
  # less rpm-Va.txt

The flags in RPM's output are explained in the manual.
