Multiple network monitor applets

[Liam Proven]

Is it me, or is there duplication between the network-status
monitoring programs in GNOME?

By default, I get a little icon in the system tray showing 2 tiny
computers, rather like the Windows one. However, there's also a
"network monitor" in the list of applets one can "add to the panel",
and that one does rather more - for instance, one can choose which
connection to monitor if one's computer has multiple network
connections. (E.g. my main desktop has 2 Ethernet ports, and the PC in
my living room has both wired Ethernet and WLAN connections.)

What's the point of having 2? It seems redundant...
