Created attachment 1231253 [details] Reintroduce Firewall GTK+ Applet Current Firewall Applet - Qt5 based, has too many unnecessary dependencies, See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394626 for details. For those using GTK+ based Desktop Environments there is a very elegant solution, reintroduction of the Firewall GTK+ Applet. Not only that GKT+ based Applet works just as well as its Qt5 counterpart, but it also provides genuine GTK+ Look and Feel within modern GTK+ Desktop. Tested within GTK+ based Desktop Environments, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon and GNOME. All tests PASSED.

Maybe you missed this, but Gtk.StatusIcon for Gtk3 has been deprecated with Gtk3 3.14, that might be removed at any time.
Proving a package with an applet that suddenly fails with a gtk3 update because of using deprecated functionality is even worse. This would then require to push an update to make the switch to the Qt applet for the user immediately and to drop the gtk applet again.
