I actually filed a bug on this icon missing.  You need to do a search,
and this thing is a necessity if your network is anything but pure
vanilla.  Not too many people are even going to see that search box, let
alone think of it to find a pretty fundamental app.

Ideally it should be part of the network applet, but lacking that it
should at least show up in System.

I can see the logic behind not cluttering things up since you only use
it once, but F15 is unusable for a lot of folks without it.  And the
average bear is never going to find it.  For a few days I had visions of
Unity in my future, if G3 was never going to work.
