From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: There are now 5 rhn applets on my kde task bar. I installed RH8 and use KDE, then I upgraded to RH9 and got 5 applets in my panel. First I had to add rhn-applet to the KDE autostart file in RH8 because you don't start it in KDE. See bug #74712 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-applet-2.0.9-0.9.0.1 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH 8 2.Switch to KDE desktop and add rhn applet to .kde autostart folder. 3. Upgrade to rh 9 and use KDE 4. If I remove rhn-applet from .kde autostart I still get 5 applets! Actual Results: I get 5 applets with a blue check. Expected Results: Should have 1 applet. Additional info:

I believe that adding the applet to the autostart file is the cause of your problem. The autostart file is meant for applications that don't support the normal session management protocol, so won't be restarted normally. But the applet _does_ handle session management, so its presence in the autostart folder means that another applet gets added each time. If it didn't show up after the upgrade, simply running the program once should be sufficient to fix that. So, remove all but one applet, remove it from the autostart folder and I think things will work correctly on subsequent logins. b
Okay thanks ! Daniel
