Hi Hans,<br><br>Thanks for the follow-up. I can confirm my copy of Ubuntu Quantal (with the MATE desktop) now launches the latest version of commotion-mesh-applet OK.<br><br>It looks like I may not be getting the desired behavior from NetworkManager; the entry "<a href="http://commotionwireless.net">commotionwireless.net</a>" simply does not appear. I verified this instance of does have nm-dispatcher-olsrd 0.0.20130218-1~quantal. I'm sharing a screenshot of what I see in the NM applet drop-down menu. Indeed, "<a href="http://commotionwireless.net">commotionwireless.net</a>" does appear as a profile.<br>
<br>(Sorry for low-res JPG attachments.

Wow, building a panel applet is quite a project these days because there is a<br>
different API for each environment: GNOME2, GNOME3, MATE, Xfce, Cinnamon, KDE,<br>
OpenBox, etc.<br>
<br>
I have this applet working well on my MATE laptop, but not yet working on<br>
GNOME3. It should work on GNOME2 (i.e. Debian squeeze), and my guess is Xfce<br>
will not be much work. I don't know about Cinnamon, KDE, OpenBox, whatever<br>
else... patches welcome!<br>

Here is the code:<br>
