New applet...

[Paul Ladouceur]

Hi-dee-ho!

I've installed successfully the patch, compile & installed. But that 
didn't solve the applet going into LEDS mode... Always stuck with the 
Off-Line and Phone icon state! :-(

And i've found something else: When I uncheck the "Pass the device to 
scripts", within a session it keeps the state. But if I logout -> login, 
the properties always revert this option to enabled! :-(

As I've stated before, the revision 0.1.1 was better since I was able to 
enable the LEDS just by going into properties and close it... everything 
else (don't know for the "Pass the device.." option) was OK... So right 
now (0.1.2), i've totally lost the On-Line functionnality of the applet, 
except that I can start/stop my ppp0 connexion...

Regards,
Ti-Paul.
