No tooltips on nm-applet if not already connected to a network

by the way, i use ubuntu 9.04 and nm-applet 0.7.0.100

I can confirm it using Ubuntu 9.10 and nm-applet version 0.7.996

It is especially annoying in a situation like this:
I often can chose between several wireless networks, of which one automatically is chosen.
If I manually switch to another, it sometimes fails to connect and then reconnects to the previous one.

Now since there is no mouse-over message, I cannot tell which network nm tries to connect to. Neither can I tell, whether the connection fails due to a low signal or at a later stage (like waiting for an ip-address).

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project.

this is not a papercut rather a feature request

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

The network menu is now part of the Ubuntu menu bar, which by design does not have tooltips.

Feel free to report bugs on specific *problems* that a tooltip would have been a possible solution to -- for example, showing which network Ubuntu is trying to connect to during the connection process -- so that we can consider an alternative solution. Thanks.
