Tim,

tnx for you reply.
I can't understand why suddenly icon froze, but I think that it is 
connected to the last lines of the rhn-applet-gui start-up in terminal

("Failed to initialize source %s for 
%s : %s %s" % (
KeyError: 'url'

But as I am not an expert of Linux, I am waiting that some guru can solve this (small) problem......please note that this is a problem only on one computer, not the one I am using to write just now. The regular update works fine.
