Hi Bob,

This happened to me in the last day or so, I /think/ because an update to the 
updater system was applied the night before. I got it working again, as 
follows:

-> right-clicked the "orb" and quit it
-> opened a shell and su'd to root
-> ran an 'rczmd status' (returned "dead")
-> ran 'rczmd restart'
-> ran an 'rczmd status' (returned "running")
-> launched the "orb" again from the menu via "System > Configuration > Update 
Software"

I think I had to repeat this sequence twice, for unknown reasons, for it 
to 'stick' in running mode.

hth & regards,

Carl
