Bug Description
When the NetworkManager finds a wireless network it proposes to connect to it, giving the user a hint through an OSD message. This message says:
"Wireless Networks Available
Click on this icon to connect to a wireless network"
This is misleading information. There is a logo in the message, but it is not clickable. I guess that this message originates from the times when there still were baloon boxes from the icons in the notification area. The text must therefore be changed. See appended screenshot.

Nice one. This has been bugging me as well but I forgot to file a bug.
The text should be changed to something like:
»Open the menu to choose one to connect to«
Or rather be even easier.
