I did exactly this on a Red Hat 9 system, created the ~/.idl directory, exited my applet, restarted rhn-applet-gui, appeared fine, asked to check for updates, worked fine, the applet doesn't show on top and seems to behave correctly. So to me the bug seems fixed in Red Hat 9 or I can't reproduce it. Daniel Gee, December must of come early. I agree that this is a bug in 8.0. Aren't you still supporting that version? Shouldn't you try the problem on 8? Why close the report! It's still a bug as far as I'm concerned. Upgrading to 9 is not an option for me. I discovered this problem after upgrading my version of IDL from Research Systems to the latest version (6.0). It creates an .idl dir to keep config info in. RSI has confirmed the problem on 8.0. The rhn-applet uses ORBit to do CORBA calls to the panel. This is likely to be the cause of the problem. So ORBit or one of the CORBA packages used like bonobo and bonobo-ui coming from the GNOME project shipped with Red Hat migh be interfering with your software package. This software package doesn't seems to be part of the Red Hat distribution. So we had no way to test the problem, right ? The problem seems fixed in the new version of GNOME, so I suggest you upgrade. If you can't upgrade and are using an external package which does not support Red Hat 8.0 , there isn't much I can do. Seems you made a mistake of not checking first that the external software package wasn't supported on 8.0 . Rebuilding ORBit version from Red Hat 9 on your system and upgrading with it might fix the problem, but I can't make any garantee about this working or being safe. My reaction is that it seems fixed in the current release of the Red Hat release, and I feel it is correct to close the bug as such. Daniel |
