One other thing I just noticed is the network applet for wireless
networks. The signal strenght indicator is a little unintuitive. First
of all its horizonatal, which by itself wouldnt be too bad (but not
great) but it marks signal strength in one of four positions instead
of including the previous positions. That is to say like this:

- - - + -  (for strength of 3)

instead of

+ + + -

which, IMHO would be much more intuitive.

Personally I like the old style which looked alot what you might see
on your cellphone (a la Cingular commercials)
