Description Rasmus Plewe 2006-03-10 09:24:27 UTC 
After updating SL 10.0 to 10.1 beta7
There is an applet in the KDE panel that was not there before. It does not show a tooltip (all other applets do). Right clicking on it offers "Configure" "Refresh" and "Quit", the "Configure" window has two tabs called "Services" and "Catalogs". It remains a total mystery what the applet is supposed to do, or even what it's name is, as long as you're cautious. 

When you do what you *NEVER* should do, that is, you simply start it, the opening window actually shows "Software Updater" in the window title (trying forever "Getting update list", but that is another issue and doubtless that's already known). 

Adding a new applet to the panel, where there's no safe way to determine what it is, is a no-go. I would recommend a tooltip and reworking the configuration window.

The tooltip is now initialized correctly.  There shouldn't be a point at which a tooltip isn't visible when you mouse over the tray icon unless something has gone horribly wrong.  I did not change the configuration window at all.  Your complaint with the window seems to be focused on the fact that it didn't shout out the name of the application.  This is one of the functions of tooltips.  This window is unlike a pop-up box because you need to hunt through the application and take action before it's displayed.
