I'm not sure if I can do this in the applet popup menu. Currently I'm
doing things like the standard applets, if anyone knows of a better way
please let me know.

Thanks, I'll fix this.

Well, grepping for 'N/A' in GNOME CVS gives some hits. Personally I
think '-' is a okay translation but I guess I could go with 'Unknown' or
something instead. I'll wait for more comments on this.
