Title:
  (network menu) there are too many separation lines

Status in WingPanel:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This menu need to be reorganised a bit. There are a lot of separation
  lines, to the point the user has trouble understanding what they are
  separating.

  I'd love to put a screenshot of it but I can't
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153157) so I'll use my best ascii
  art instead. Here is how it shows on my computer:

  phone1 ~greyed~
  disconnected ~greyed~
  ______________
  some network
  ______________
  phone2 ~greyed~
  disconnected ~greyed~
  ______________
  another network
  ______________
  wireless network ~greyed~
  current network
  disconnect
  ______________
  some wifi
  another wifi
  a third wifi
  too many wifi
  I can see five
  ______________
  connect to an invisible wifi
  create new wifi network
  ______________
  VPN connections ~with submenu~
  ______________
  (✓) activate network
  (✓) activate wireless network
  ______________
  connexion informations
  manage connexions

  The separation line should only separate different objects: modem1,
  modem2, wireless, VPN, options. There shouldn't be a line between
  active and inactive connections: an icon change and the following line
  "disconnect" indented should be enough. Furthermore you either have a
  submenu or you don't, VPN shouldn't be singled out. Like this:

  phone1 ~greyed~
  disconnected ~greyed~
  (x) some network
  ______________
  phone2 ~greyed~
  disconnected ~greyed~
  (x) another network
  ______________
  wireless network ~greyed~
  (✓) current network
      disconnect
  (x) some wifi
  (x) another wifi
  (x) a third wifi
  (x) too many wifi
  (x) I can see five
  connect to an invisible wifi
  create new wifi network
  ______________
  VPN connections ~with submenu~
  ______________
  options ~greyed~
  (✓) activate network
  (✓) activate wireless network
  connexion informations
  manage connexions

  This would be easier to read and understand. For further cleaning,
  inactive modems could be hidden
