The applet turns gray when the RHN servers can't be reached. usually
you need to
right click on it and select check for updates to have it try to connect
to the servers again.
If they are up again the applet will become blue again. Or (as you
discovered) clicking
on it and running a session will "fix" it (assuming the servers are up)

It remained gray even though the update worked flawlessly. I wish it
didn't work though, because the old X server bug hit me again, and I had
to downgrade to the original xorg rpms, do the libvgahw.a trick, etc.
What a pain... Why is something being shipped with FC, if it doesn't work
as it should? I have a mainstream intel motherboard + video chip and this
bug still manifests after it has been reported to death and after so long?
