I agree, qole, that Maemo's status and network stuff is great. I'm just wondering if we can't access them with standard linux tools. For instance, wmbattery does seem to handle the battery status fine. The network status applet in the LXDE panel works fine, but isn't a connection manager. Surely we can find some kind of connection manager that will access all the connections. Maemo seems to treat bluetooth connections as standard network connections(once they've been setup), so maybe they'd be seen that way by another connection manager?
