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!
