i tried it once again

boot severn1 in init 5:
procedure --> no "1 pixel wide applet icon" ??

boot severn1 in init 3:
$ startx
procedure --> no "1 pixel wide applet icon" ??




once again in shrike with some ignored-packages
boot shrike in init 3
$ startx
procedure --> no "1 pixel wide applet icon" ??

sh...



but now ?
this should reproduce it every time in shrike with ignored packages
remove the .rhn-applet.cache  _before_  startx
--> no, only sometimes !!


boot shrike in init 3
procedure:
$ cd ~
$ mv .rhn-applet.cache old-cache
$ startx - voila "1 pixel wide applet icon"
(only sometimes)

or

$ echo "" > .rhn-applet.cache
$ startx - voila "1 pixel wide applet icon"
(only sometimes)

logout

$ mv old-cache .rhn-applet.cache
$ startx - rhn-applet is ok





ok,
.rhn-applet.cache will be new generated from time to time !



perhaps in this way ...

init3, tty*

# chmod 000 ~user/.rhn-applet.cache
# chown root.root ~user/.rhn-applet.cache
$ startx - voila "1 pixel wide applet icon"
(but only sometimes)


it must be magic :-(

but speed is not magic,

its mostly reproducable short after the reboot but later its mostly not 
reproducable with or without .rhn-applet.cache
could it be that rhn-applet do not need every  startx  the 
.rhn-applet.cache ?


network should be no problem (dsl-flatrate)
