I defer to infinitely better judgement about where the line of sanity
is along the currently implemented interface. Do you have another
option in mind to re-integrate the network problem situation into the
user experience? Or does someone in the community need to come up with
a clever way to show users that a network error is happening that is
not attached to the icon color/shape?
Are there some parameters to bound the solution space, or does
rhn-applet punt the network error notification feature completely?
