Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Just want to inform you that the current version of GNOME Shell (3.8.4-2) no
longer displays the network status icon in the top bar. If you could please fix
that so the network status icon is displayed again, that would be great. Right
now the only way to connect to a new network or check the network connectivity
status is through the Network control center applet, which is rather
inconvenient versus using the status icon.

For now, I am going to downgrade GNOME Shell to version 3.8.4-1, since that
version still correctly displays the network status icon.
