** Description changed: - The conjunction of using Ubuntu Jaunty, networkmanager and libnotify - when there are available wireless networks confuses the user due to - incorrect wording. The message displayed to the use would be fine if it - was a bubble emenating from the icon but will confuse users when it is a - passive notification that cannot be clicked on. This is bad usability. - There is a message that network manager gives which says something like: + Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty - Available networks click on this icon to ... "this icon" referring to - network manager but, seems it is talking about the wireless network - notification which also has an icon beside it. But the notification is - passive, not interactive and disappears when the mouse cursor goes over - it. This is a usability issue which can be corrected by changing the - wording of the network manager notification for available networks. + networkmanager shows a notification when there are available wireless + networks. this notification uses incorrect wording since it is a passive + notification that cannot be clicked on. + + The message displayed: + "Wireless Networks Available - Click on this icon to connect to a wireless network" + + "this icon" refers to network manager, and this *would* be correct if we do not use notify-osd, but since we use notify-osd by default since Jaunty, this sentence should be changed to: + "Wireless Networks Available" + + Since the notification is passive, not interactive and disappears when + the mouse cursor goes over it, we should correct the wording of the + network manager notification for available networks.
