Bug Description
Binary package hint: netapplet
http://
Wireless icon in netapplet is designed with 4 strength bars tha reflect link
quality/strength. Only the first bar will ever be filled, though the tooltip
and pop-up menu reflect a quite accurate measure (85% as I write).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start netapplet.
2. Connect to a wireless access point.
3. Check that connection strength is good (> 50%)
Actual results:
See the icon stuck at the first bar, no matter how good the connection is.
Expected results:
I would expect the icon reflecting what I see on the tooltip.
Does this happen every time?
Yes, indeed.
Other information:
I have a patch, just one line in file src/netapplet.c:
1410c1410
< strength = netapplet-
---
> strength = netapplet-
"netapplet-
whereas "ap->strength" is used for tooltips and pop-up menu, which are all
right. This way the icon is coherent with the textual displays.

Previous patch was giving some error when building debian package.
This one works seamlessly...
