[Bug 439864] Re: No tooltips on nm-applet if not already connected to a network

The network menu is now part of the Ubuntu menu bar, which by design
does not have tooltips.

Feel free to report bugs on specific *problems* that a tooltip would
have been a possible solution to -- for example, showing which network
Ubuntu is trying to connect to during the connection process -- so that
we can consider an alternative solution. Thanks.

Title:
  No tooltips on nm-applet if not already connected to a network

Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet:
  New
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When you first log in, and mouse-over the nm-applet (don't click), it doesn't
  show any tooltips. 

  The similarly if you're trying to connect to an other network. there are no
  tooltips.

  It would be ideal it nm applet says "connection available" in the first case
  and "trying to connect to xxxx network" in the second one
