the rhn-applet does not install by default on a workstation install. When I installed it manually and tried to run it I recieved a python error.
gnome-python2-1.99.14-1 from rawhide fixes this. Also this package requires gnome-python2-canvas.
rhn-applet has to be rebuilt with gnome-python2-1.99.14-1 for it to work properly.
Okay I have rebuild a new version rhn-applet-2.0.7-1 which should show on Rawhide at some point and in any subsequent beta or release, thanks ! Daniel
