[opensuse] WiFi and KDE4 - systray icon
I recently tried out the latest PCLinuxOS release, and noticed something... in their KDE4 build, the systray icon for the WiFi is the familiar graduated bargraph style... it's very readable, easy to see signal strength on etc. Back to the openSUSE KDE4 builds, and we've got that useless circle thing that's basically unusable as a visual reference to see WiFi signal strength etc... it's just a white and blue circle... and the microscopic signal strength bar on the right is... well.. microscopic. What's the trick to enable or use a more "normal" and readable WiFi systray icon in KDE4/KNetworkManager? I've been poking Google and various forums, but haven't turned up anything useful yet.

I have openSUSE 11.1 WITH KDE 4.4.2 installed and use KNetworkManager/KDE3 with no issues. This has the 4 bar signal strength meter in the systems tray.
