Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: netapplet

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495895

Wireless icon in netapplet is designed with 4 strength bars tha reflect link
quality/strength. Only the first bar will ever be filled, though the tooltip
and pop-up menu reflect a quite accurate measure (85% as I write).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start netapplet.
2. Connect to a wireless access point.
3. Check that connection strength is good (> 50%)

Actual results:
See the icon stuck at the first bar, no matter how good the connection is.


Expected results:
I would expect the icon reflecting what I see on the tooltip.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, indeed.

Other information:
I have a patch, just one line in file src/netapplet.c:
  1410c1410
  <     strength = netapplet->link_quality;
  ---
  >     strength = netapplet->active_ap->strength;

"netapplet->link_quality" seems to be rarely updated (never in my system),
whereas "ap->strength" is used for tooltips and pop-up menu, which are all
right. This way the icon is coherent with the textual displays.
