Bingo Matt!

That was it. The order required is:

xftaskbar4&

rhn-applet-gui&

xfdesktop&


That also explains what it did not work using the symlink in the
Autostart folder, since that code in xinitrc is prior to the taskbar
startup. I had a feeling it was a sequencing issue, but was not sure
where it should go.

It now works in the system tray, either in the taskbar or in the main
panel. Theoretically speaking of course...  ;-)

Thanks!
