The defaultCredentialsCache seems to be populated when launching an
application.

My problem is: when impersonating (WindowsIdentity(upnname).Impersonate()),
my credentialscache is not re-populated with the new logon?

Please, any insight into this mistory of networkcredentials would be greatly
appreciated

Have you tried creating a new NetworkCredential object under the
impersonated context? This may or may not work for your scenario, depending
on what it is you're trying to do.

Are you attempting to impersonate on the client end of a network
communication? If so, why not simply permit the original user context to
access the server?
