Okay, couple of things here that I've just noticed:

 * Icon Cache:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache
   - Without the icon cache no Icon appears in the menus (ouch)
 * .desktop file
   - the menu entry lands on my F10 box in System->Preferences with the name
'rhn_register' - this isn't very descriptive imo
   - I'd also say it's more Administration not Preferences

A .desktop file that solves this would be something like:

----
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Update Registration
GenericName=Register for software updates from Spacewalk/Satellite/Red Hat
Network
Comment=Register to Spacewalk/Satellite/Red Hat Network.
Exec=rhn_register
Icon=up2date
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System;Settings;X-Red-Hat-Base;
----

This makes it appear as "Update Registration" to be honest you may want to call
this "RHN Registration".

 * Broken deps
   - rhn-client-tools depends on yum-rhn-plugin which will apparently be a
circular dependency when it gets put forward to review (this is bad)
   - rhn-setup depends on rhnsd which I can't seem to find
