Bug#347340: gnome-netstatus-applet: interface selection menu broken

[Chris Roddy]

Package: gnome-netstatus-applet
Version: 2.10.0-2
Severity: normal

In the netstatus applet's properties dialog, there is a drop-down menu
for selecting the interface to monitor. On my system, it contains two
blank lines, and a line for the loopback interface. The name of the
interface must be entered manually, and sometimes (I can't quite put my
finger on just when) entering the interface name manually does not work,
unless it is re-entered.
