I'm not so sure. I have a new FC 1 install and experiencing the same
"Your system does not seem to be registered with RH network warning"
when the Alert applet is invoked. It clear should not be doing that
seeing how's RH is not supporting Fedora via RHN.

However, until yesterday the system was registered with RHN in the FC
test 2 channel and when installing FC 1 I maintained my old /home and
config which I am now using. If others are not seeing the warning then I
suspect this has something to do with it. Deleted ~/.rhn-applet* with no
effect.
