Bug Description
In Oneiric:
1- install gufw etc, and start it
2- click the lock and authenticate
3- turn the firewall on
4- quit
5- (optionally, verify from the terminal that the firewall is still active)
6- restart ufw
what happens: it shows "Firewall status: off" (greyed out), until you authenticate
what should happen: if the firewall state can't be reported until you authenticate, gufw shouldn't show something that looks like it's actually off

Hi! :)
The default ufw status in a fresh installation is disabled, Gufw uses a 'generic' status for this button for don't give a 'real' information.
I think this is a right status. Is there any usability rule about this? Have you an idea for improvement it? :)
Best regards and thanks for the bug.
Marcos.
