Normally I wouldn't get involved in a usability dispute (Usability to
me = Terminal) but my wife used my Ubuntu laptop and couldn't figure
out why she couldn't get out when the wireless icon showed that way (I
had it off from using an Aircard).   If we don't want to use the
normal icon please consider something more obvious like the bars icon
with a slash through it?
