Bug Description
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
Linux mblakele-lt 2.6.22-6-generic #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 00:54:39 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
knetworkmanager
I upgraded knetworkmanager yesterday, and noticed that the right-click and left-click behaviors have changed. With the latest build, I must right-click in order to see the list of essids and select a new access-point. Left-click brings up a connection-status window.
I know UI decisions are always contentious, but I hope this was an accidental change. I think of changing access points (or interfaces) as the *primary* function of the systray icon, and I think the primary function of a widget should be available on left-click. It's rare that I want to see the connection status: in fact, I've never used that feature on purpose. Much more frequently, I need to select an access point or change interfaces.
If this change was intentional and won't be reverted, then please let me know and I'll wishlist configurability for this behavior.

I hear you. But looks like more KDE systray icons are moving towards this behavior. bugs.kde. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=141862
Left click : bring up the application
Right click : options
Amarok does the same; left click brings up the main Amarok window, right click shows options : play, stop ..etc
you can try opening a wish at KDE bug tracker.
Have a look at this bug as well : http://
