How do I get rid of the thingie in the status bar that comes up every

How do I get it to *stay* away?
If I remember correctly, you are running Fedora. The offending
application is called Pirut. The best solution is to remove it from the
system entirely. At the command line, as root:
# rpm -e pirut
This will remove the offender. A superior GUI replacement (from my
perspective) is yumex. Install it as root like so:
# yum install yumex
The above commands could also be run as a regular user using sudo like so:
$ sudo rpm -e pirut
$ sudo yum install yumex
and is actually the preferred way of doing administrative things on your
system. Notice the change in prompt from # for root to $ as a regular
user. This is by convention. You will first have to have set up sudo to
allow you run those commands. Read the man page for more info.

Thanks, Gus.
# rpm -e pirut
error: Failed dependencies:
pirut is needed by (installed)
system-config-printer-0.7.74.4-1.fc7.i386
Why would system-config-printer need pirut?
Do I need system-config-printer?
