Description of problem:
	Hi,

	When I log in, my rhn icon in the gnome panel gives the 
message "checking for updates" but does not go beyond this. If I right 
click on it, all options except for exit are greyed out. If I run 
rhn-applet-gui from a gnome terminal I get the error below. If I run 
rhn-applet-tui, eveything seems to work fine. Also, up2date seems to 
work fine. One thing I notice is that the uuid in 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet file is different than the rhnuuid in 
the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date-uuid file. I have reinstalled both 
python and rhn-applet and the problem is still there. I think this 
started after I updated to RHEL3.4 from RHEL3.3 via up2date. Here are 
the versions for the relevant programs:
RHEL 3.0 WS
python-2.2.3-6
rhn-applet-2.1.18-4
(BTW, my RHN account has not expired)

Thank you in advance for any help.

	--Andrew
