Configuring the network is not "user-friendly" in Lubuntu

[Delgan]

Hi.

I just installed Lubuntu 18.10 which comes with lxqt and I love the performances, the beauty and the simplicity of the desktop environment you created.

I would like to install it everywhere and to advise it to my non-techy-Windows-user friends, but I hesitate to do so because there are few things that are not as polished as on other distributions.

One problem, in my opinion, is the configuration of the network. This is the first thing we do after installing an OS, so this is the first interaction of the user with the distribution, and it means so much on his first impression of this new environment.

I made this gif right after installing Lubuntu, while Internet is not yet working.

I wanted to denote a few things:

* Clicking on the "Wi-Fi network" does nothing
- I guess it should either not be clickable or open a window information / configuration about the network

* Clicking on the network in "Known connection" disconnect me
- Why does it do so while clicking on the same network under "Wi-Fi network" did nothing?
- How can it disconnect me while I'm not even connected?
- What actually changed? The icon stays the same. The network list stays the same.

* The "Connection Information" open an empty window
- I suppose it should display a message like "You are not currently connected to any network". Otherwise, the user may think "Is it a bug? Is it loading data info in the background?"

* The "Edit connections" open a Shell rather that a graphical window
- I know that this is easily configurable and that there is not even one command line to type, but this would be much more welcoming if configuring the network was made trough a graphical window, and if it just required to type the WPA key in a input box.

I know it may sound like detail and that lxqt is already very easy to use, but I sincerely believe that the graphical interface would benefit a lot for being as user-friendly as possible.

I hope it makes as much sense to you as it makes to me.
