So, we have network-manager-gnome (nm-applet) in Mer - due to the fact ICD2 is not open. We have recently moved to the Fremantle desktop and this desktop does not lend itself well to systray applets (even with hildon-systray).

So, we need to do the following to nm-applet:

1) Convert it from a executable binary to a loadable module (.so) - that is, remove/replace main() and adjust Makefile.am to build a module instead.

2) Implement a status area item (http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...esktop_Widgets).

The icon in the status area (18x18) should reflect current state of networking. The part for network applet in the status area menu that pops up when you click status area, should state the current network connection connected to if any.

When the button in status area menu is clicked, a dialog showing current networks (like it does currently when clicking applets) appear - this already exists as a popup menu in the code).

So, what I'm asking is - is there anyone here that would take on this as a mini-project to help move the project along? You don't have to worry about icons or artwork. Most relevant code is in one file (applet.c). You should know your way around GObject and GTK+.

Source code can be found at http://www.daimi.au.dk/~cvm/nmapplet/

Any takers?
