Bug Description

When the nm-applet icons were redesigned in the Jaunty cycle, there was a lot of debate about whether reusing an empty bar graph for both "very low signal" and "disconnected" was appropriate. It was eventually settled that "disconnected" should be differentiated from "very low signal" by being an empty bar graph with a red X emblem.

This change seems to have regressed in Karmic, with a disconnected wireless network again being represented by a plain empty bar graph.

Nothing changed in the theme. It seems that network manager changed the icon names it was using
