Title:
nm-applet uses the notification area not like a proper applet
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
The program nm-applet's name indicates that it is an applet, but it does not
behave like one at all.
I cannot add it through the normal "add-applet dialog". It must be run from a
session, or command line. It uses the notification area, which means I can't
move it around to properly configure my taskbar like I want. It doesn't
provide
an exit button, or menu option to stop the program _anywhere_. If you kill it
using killall or kill it restarts itself and re-appears in the notification
area. The only way to stop it is to log out, or to rename the executable and
kill it, or to remove the package from the computer.
It provides TWO! menus, one for left click, one for right click.
The right click menu isn't the same as other applets, and includes preference
settings directly in the menu rather than having a preference option which
brings up a preference dialog.
