I was actually just going to ask about this.  It's a bit confusing to 
users when the applet
tells them they need updates and they try to update their machine 
(either cl or through yumex)
and it tells them there are no updates.  Perhaps it's intended behavior 
in that it's reminding
people to upgrade, but it does cause confusion and limits the usefulness 
of the RHN applet-
people start ignoring it!
