Bug Description
The current nm-applet icon that is shown for a wired VPN connection is very unclear - overlaying a padlock onto the existing connection-type icon works fine for the usual wifi icon, but with a wired connection the padlock merges into the down arrow and looks like screen corruption.

I don't know if the padlock is actually being overlayed onto the existing connection-type image, but I'd prefer to see an icon like the attached. In other words, invert the 2 arrows for a wired connection and make the right-hand arrow stem shorter, allowing space for a padlock bottom-right.
