Subject: [PATCH] Start wizard when left clicked

Hi:

Currently the applet doesn't seem to respond to any actions when left clicked unless it's blinking. This is counter intuitive from the expectation that something will happen when left clicked. Attached is a patch that will spawn the wizard when left clicked, or stop blinking if it was.

because I wanna use the left-click menu for the known devices and an
easy access to connect them.

Why a separate/different menu?

I added a simple menu to the left-click to allow starting the wizard.

I'd rather it popped up the right-click menu instead of popping up the
wizard.
