Ok, glad to know that I wasn't dreaming regarding the lack of 
notification .. Now I know why :) 

Does the rhn-applet always check w/RedHat or does it look at the 
configured yum directories?
I have configured all of my Fedora Core systems to point to a local yum 
repository and I'm wondering if the rhn-applet looks there or looks at 
redhat.
