CentOS - Jan 2014 - Yumex in 6.5 minimal -

When I start yumex as user it displays but stops with an error message 
that the backend is not running.

However "yumex --root" starts and runs normally.

It is Centos 6.5 64 bit and using XFCE running in virtualbox if that 
matters.

Any suggestion as to what I am missing?

is there a service associated with yumex?

     chkconfig --list |grep -i yum

will list any such.  if there is one, then...

     chkconfig yumex on
     service yumex start

(replace yumex with the service name)

(note the above is purely conjecture, I've never used yumex, I just use 
yum...)
