Even if the window is visible, I often don't know if the connection is up or down--I am constantly looking at the modem to check. Perhaps the graph could be greyed out? Anything!

It is not always easy to see the status of the interface - if the window is covered up, or iconised, for example. The following lines in appapplet.c add "Up: IFNAME" or "Down: IFNAME" to the title bar of the window: /* set the proper current tooltip state for a netmon widget */ void appapplet_set_netmon_tooltip(GtkWidget *netmon, interface *i) { char updownmsg[200]; /* SGP - modified to indicate status in title * This makes it easy to check when minimised/covered */ if (!netmon) return; if (i->manipulable) { if (i->status == INTERFACE_UP) { sprintf(updownmsg, "Up: %s", i->friendlyName); gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(the_toplevel), updownmsg); appapplet_set_widget_tooltip(netmon, _("Click to disconnect from %s"), i->friendlyName); } else { sprintf(updownmsg, "Down: %s", i->friendlyName); gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(the_toplevel), updownmsg); appapplet_set_widget_tooltip(netmon, _("Click to connect to %s"), i->friendlyName); } } else { appapplet_set_widget_tooltip(netmon, NULL); } } Just my $0.02 for the world!
