[Bug 346873] Re: plasma-widget-network-manager icons for secure vs open wifi networks are too similar

[Adrien Cordonnier]

According to apt-file, the icons are not in the plasma-widget-network-manager package. It seems icons from the oxygen theme (located in /usr/share/icons/oxygen, probably 22x22) are used including:
- status/object-locked ;
- status/object-unlocked ;
- status/object-locked-finished.

I agree that the icon choice is not really relevant. I suggest:

1) For unencrypted networks (currently status/object-unlocked)
    a) no icon or
    b) an icon without padlock on it

2) For encrypted networks for which we have the key (currently status/object-unlocked)
    a) an open padlock (no change) or
    b) a padlock with a key or
    c) a padlock with a green check (status/object-locked-verified)

3) For encrypted networks for which we don't have the key (yet?) (currently status/object-locked-finished)
   a) a locked padlock (yet it may lead to confusion with the open padlock)
   b) a padlock with a red cross (status/object-locked-unverified)
