Yes, but Bugabundo's original complaint was about when wireless is off
completely: "The new icon is very deceiving, making me think I have my
WiFi On, but with no signal."

Mac OS X icon for wireless off:

Mac OS X icon for wireless on but disconnected:
<http://www.its.ipfw.edu/wireless/images/mac/mac-open-internet-connection.gif>.

For Ubuntu it's a bit tricker, because we want to distinguish between
(1) no connection with wireless off, (2) no connection with wireless on,
(3) connected with wireless (at various signal strengths), and (4)
connected with wired.
