Description Sven Brauch 2011-07-12 18:01:13 UTC

Hi,

While this "low signal on network" notification is not an entirely bad idea in general, it opens up about every five seconds for me, which is very, very annoying. Even worse, removing the network manager applet doesn't stop the message from appearing, I don't even know what process generates them, or I could at least kill that...

Anyways, I'd propse to remove that message entirely or give it a very, very large timeout at least.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use the network manager applet with a wireless network with low signal strength

Actual Results:  
annoying widgets appear

Expected Results:  
no annoying widgets appear
