Yes, yumex do some funny stuff with logging, it don't use the  
logginglevels.doLoggingSetup to setup logging, because it is using
a custom logging handler to print the logging output to a GTK TextView.
I will try to fix it so it is using the default yum logging setup and 
just add another logging handler to handle the gtk.Textview output.
