Of course I can't reproduce this, you need to provide more informations.
Try to launch rhn-applet-gui from a shell and see is there is any error message.
If you know how to use gdb launch it on python and run with the
/usr/bin/rhn-applet-gui argument, then abort it to get a stack trace.

Comment 2 Todd Wilson 2003-04-11 20:01:06 UTC
if I run rhn-applet-gui from the shell it runs fine ( no errors and CPU usuage 
is at ~3% )and I can see the icon come up on my GNOME pannel...



Comment 3 Daniel Veillard 2003-04-11 22:12:39 UTC
Then I have really no idea, that means the applet itself is fine
it's the way it is started which gives troubles. Why and how, there
is nothing allowing me to reproduce or debug the problem, I can't
reproduce this, and apparently you're the only one having the
problem. Try to see if there are error messages logged
in your X session logs, maybe there is something wrong in the setup 
not allowing the applet to connect to the Xsession or to the panel...

This is more than one year old and I didn't got any error report
about this since, I think this can safely be closed.
