Now this I'm having issues with, Because the Current gnome-netstatus 
applet -blinks- all the time.  This causes severe stress at the edges of 
the visible field, especially on larger monitors, which is completly 
distracting and bad from a usability perspective.

If the netstatus applet could just "shut up" and stop flickering around 
it would be usable, because the cute graph on the side of it is nicer 
than the ....thingie... with numbers that the wireless applet has.

However, at the moment, netstatus wouldn't be usable for daily use.
