There is a gconf key, /apps/puplet/always_show, which controls whether
puplet appears in the notification area, even if there are no updates.
It wasn't set up on my system so I had to use gconf-editor to create
it.  (gconf-editor is in Core but isn't installed by default.)  Just
create a boolean key and set it to true to have puplet always
displayed.  Of course, if puplet isn't properly finding updates this
won't help, but at least you can now poke the refresh button.

While I was at it I also replaced the new icons with the ones from the
update applet in FC4.  I don't like the new icons.
