[rhn-users] up2date GNOME applet appears to be broken in RHEL AS

After the marathon of updates to my RHEL AS (v. 3 for x86) system  last 
week, including for up2date, the GNOME applet for up2date appears to be 
broken. If I move my mouse over the white check mark on blue circle, it says 
it is "Checking RHN for updates", but it never gets past that message to 
tell me there are no updates for my system.  If I right-click on it, the 
only menu option that is not grayed out is "Exit".

Of course I can run up2date from the commandline (that launches up2date), 
but I depend on the GUI tool to be working, too.  It normally says  XX 
updates, 0 ignored.

Has anyone else noticed this change in this applet's behavior or is it just 
my system?
