I'd settle for just padding the area of the highlight 2 or 3px around
the actual icon of nm-applet, without diminishing the area that the icon
can use (which is about 22x22).  I tried to get this myself with the
patch you sent, but didn't have enough time to investigate why I just
couldn't add padding without chopping off bits of the icon.  My gtk-fu
weakens with time, my son :)

If there's a way to just pad the highlight area _outwards_ then, I'll
take that patch (it's not a big deal if the progress bar isn't
highlighted ATM, we can deal with that later).
