Bug Description
left clicking the applet should drop-down a list of connections, however i get a pop-up menu titled "connection properties: eth0" (see scrrenshot)
right clicking the applet should give me a list of option in which are included: "Enable connections", "Enable Wireless connections", etc. However, all i get is the gnome panel options -- Properties ; Help ; About ; etc. --. ( screenshot not available )
the About option says the applet is: Network Monitor 2.28.0 by Sun Microsystems. I remember it used to say it was NetworkManager Applet 0.8 by RedHat...
i have network-manager and network-
how can i get that applet back, any ideas please. i have exhausted the google search.

ok, so i went through the synaptic list again... to try and find the right applet and i found gnome-status-applet (installed) version 2.28.0, which coincides with the "About" information. So obviously this is not the correct applet.
So I unistalled this, but lo and behold, after a restart the applet is gone and no option is available in the applet menu.
Any ideas? How can i get the network-manager applet?
