Bug Description
The Network Manager applet shows mobile broadband connections with a radio button. When they are connected, an additional line is added that reads "Disconnect". This non-standard UI is unnecessary and confusing. The connections should show with a checkbox instead. This would fit existing UI conventions.
The same thing applies to VPNs. There is no reason to have a separate submenu. They could simply show as checkboxes, with "Configure VPN..." appearing at the bottom of the menu as a more general "Edit Connections". (Or, the right-click menu's copy of that could be the only one.)
