No -- when I activate the blue checkby left clicking, it functions as 
expected: Redhat Network Alert Notification Tool comes up, with the 
option for me to click Lauch Up2date or Close.

I click on Launch Up2date and my pw is requested. After giving my pw, 
the yum channel displayed, and after some churning, the skipped kernel* 
packages displays. When I then go ahead to the next screen, the 
available updated packages displays (when there are som).

So the only behavioral difference is that the blue check does not turn 
red on its own. It either has to be manually right-clicked and select 
"check for updates" (and if updates exist, it then turns red) or the 
blue check is activated with a left-click and up2date begins its work.
