    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)
