Then they should avoid displaying the signal strength of wireless networks as well, as the normal network monitor applet provides this information and it's not essential for _managing_ network connections. Or the other way round: I think additional information is essential for _managing_ network connections. To my mind, _monitoring_ the active network connection is just an augmentation of the nm-applet with additional information that doesn't clutter the UI in contrast to using several different applets / utils to do on taks, i.e. managing all available network connections. It's a question of confusion as well. Thomas
