Just to help out Ed's explanation --- you seem to be confusing the GUI
for the NetworkManager and the GUI for the configuration of the GUI of
NM.

The GUI with four arrows is supposed to configure how the NM GUI will
look like. It is *not* supposed to display any actual data about network
connections. It is just there to help you design what type of
information you want to see in the NM GUI and in what order. The
left/right arrows change the choice of items displayed by the NM GUI,
and the up/down arrows change the order in which they are displayed.

Btw, this type of user-interface dates back to KDE 3, and I am very
surprised that you haven't seen it before.

As for the NM GUI itself (the thing that pops up in the corner when you
click on the NM icon in the systray), it displays the data about actual
connections, access points, etc., in the order you have designed with
the "four-arrow" GUI.

You should understand the words "GUI configuration" as "configuration
of the GUI", rather than "graphical configuration".

HTH, :-)
