I believe this is controlled by rhn-setup-gnome. Changing components.

Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora 2011-06-03 12:52:40 UTC
Taking.

Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora 2011-06-03 12:53:29 UTC
This looks like a RHEL 5 equivalent of bug 606222, which has a known fix -- removing that can_focus from the label.

Setting devel ack.
