I upgraded to the devel tree on two machines and had another minor
problem with puplet -- I knew that it's new in FC6 so I looked out for
it after the upgrade. I tried to start puplet manually and there was no
reaction. I looked in the list of applets and couldn't find it. It took
me round about ten minutes until I realized "Hey, it's there and started
by default and seems to use the notification area, but hides when there
are no updates available." (Or am I wrong with that again?) That was a
bit confusing. Maybe it should show up in notification area for 30
seconds and hide afterwards? Or it could output "I'm running already in
the notification area and will show up if there are updates available"
when you call puplet on the command line?

Maybe someone else has better ideas how this "confusion for the user"
can be avoided. But we should make sure we document this properly in the
release notes if we can't get the situation improved before FC6.

Just my 2 cent.
