The conjunction of using Ubuntu Jaunty, networkmanager and libnotify when there are available wireless networks confuses the user due to incorrect wording. The message displayed to the use would be fine if it was a bubble emenating from the icon but will confuse users when it is a passive notification that cannot be clicked on. This is bad usability. There is a message that network manager gives which says something like:
Available networks click on this icon to ... "this icon" referring to network manager but, seems it is talking about the wireless network notification which also has an icon beside it. But the notification is passive, not interactive and disappears when the mouse cursor goes over it. This is a usability issue which can be corrected by changing the wording of the network manager notification for available networks.
