Hi guys,
I'm new to the list. Sorry if this kind of message is not appropriate.
The thing is that I find it a bit annoying that nm applet does not show
the nm-secure-lock icon on top of the nm-signal-XX icon when I'm
connected to a secure wlan network. I connect to may different wlans on
a daily basis. In some of them my packets are transmitted encrypted, in
some others are transmitted in the clear, and it would be great to have
a visual aid to remind me to which kind of wlan I'm connected to (so I
don't, for example, check my email using POP3).
I wanted to provide a proper patch for the issue but I haven't been able
to compile nm from the sources. However, I attach an incomplete and
untested patch, that maybe one of you guys can use. Do you think
something like this could be implemented in trunk?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
G.
