For some reason no matter what I do (and I've been at this for a couple of days now), I cannot get the Flightmode widget to show in the status menu. I've tried all three different status menu options, and combinations of them (I know you're not meant to, but it was worth a try) and apart from totally screwing up my status menu a few times, nothing works.

Flightmenu never shows up in GConfik either. Any clues?
