Being a long-time user of autorpm (http://www.autorpm.org/), I thought I'd give the "official" update methods a try. So I installed yum, which seems to work OK, and also yum-applet, which is based on rhn-applet. However, the applet always shows the "checking for updates" icon and if I left-click on the applet, no window appears but a process "/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum-applet-gui" is started, and never exits. I see the same thing on two different machines, and the same thing with the original rhn-applet. Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

Paul.
