Description of problem: The system notification icon about new software updates is not clickable. It doesn’t matter if you click or double-click it — nothing happens. When right-clicking, however, a pop-up menu appears. This is counter-intuitive. Granted, a big balloon with information is shown then first time the icon appears, but clicking the icon should at least bring back the balloon. Not simply ignore the user interaction. (FC6Pre) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC6Pre. 2. Wait until the notification pops up about new updates. 3. Close the balloon that appears, leaving just the icon visible (see attachment). 4. Click or double-click on it. Actual results: Nothing happens. Expected results: Either the info balloon or the actual update program should appear. Additional info: This bug report was filed because Rahul Sundaram asked me to in a response to my FC6 vs Ubuntu 6.10 review: http://djst.org/blog/2006/10/03/fedora-core-6-vs-ubuntu-610/#comment-412

Committed something to CVS so that we can popup on left click also, but unless there's a release blocker for the package, I'll have to just release it as a post-release update.
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
