Just to clarify: this patch only affects wifi bonded connections.
'Classic' ethernet bond slaves are still skipped - so this change
should not affect existing users.
I think the intention of original patch was to hide ethernet ones.
The problem with wifi slaves is that they are not hidden since they
actually come from scan results - they still pop up in the list of
available APs. And this is the good thing - this means I can connect
and disconnect wifi bond slave at will from the applet.
So, with this in mind - could you please clarify why you think this is
not the right thing to do so I could try to address that? :)


Since wifi slave connection are displayed only if the matching SSID is
found, and they don't waste space in the menu because they are grouped
in the AP submenu, I think it's ok to display them.

On the other hand, you still wouldn't be able to control the bond and
the ethernet slave from the applet, so I wonder if this is really
useful.

Anyway, the patch LGTM.
