[Bug 121895] knetworkmanager systray right-click and left-click behaviors have swapped places

[Michael Blakeley]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

Linux mblakele-lt 2.6.22-6-generic #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 00:54:39 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
knetworkmanager/gutsy uptodate 1:0.2~r674918-0ubuntu2

I upgraded knetworkmanager yesterday, and noticed that the right-click
and left-click behaviors have changed. With the latest build, I must
right-click in order to see the list of essids and select a new access-
point. Left-click brings up a connection-status window.

I know UI decisions are always contentious, but I hope this was an
accidental change. I think of changing access points (or interfaces) as
the *primary* function of the systray icon, and I think the primary
function of a widget should be available on left-click. It's rare that I
want to see the connection status: in fact, I've never used that feature
on purpose. Much more frequently, I need to select an access point or
change interfaces.

If this change was intentional and won't be reverted, then please let me
know and I'll wishlist configurability for this behavior.
