First, see if the application will run from a terminal. If so, you may simply need to set the right pathname in the panel shortcut.

Application Updates? - Are applications updated automatically? For example - I have GIMP 2.4.5 installed. gimp.org shows 2.4.6 was released 5-30-08. When will this version show up in the default FC9 repositories - and should I wait for that? If I wait - will it automatically be updated?

I would think that there would be no automatic updates unless you configured it specifically. Most distros either do nothing or they tell you that updates are available. Also, don't expect the distro repositories to be always up to date. they all have different polices. One exception is Arch--they always seem to have the very latest.
