Correction of inaccurate statement


man 1 firewall-applet

GSETTINGS
       firewall-applet has additional settings to adapt the look and feel. The
       used backend depends on the distribution and can be either dconf or
       GConf. The path to the settings is org.fedoraproject.FirewallApplet.
       You can use dconf-editor or gconf-editor to see and modify them.

       The following settings are supported:

       ...
       show-inactive
           Show applet also if firewalld is not running. If firewalld has been
           stopped or is not running the applet will be hidden and not visible
           in the applet tray. Enable this setting to see the applet all the
           time for example to be sure that the firewall is active.

           This setting defaults to false.

       ...
       blink
           If enabled, the applet icon blinks in these cases:

           ·   Connection to firewalld lost

           ·   Panic mode has been enabled or disabled

           This setting defaults to false.

       ...

dconf write /org/fedoraproject/FirewallApplet/blink true
dconf dump /org/fedoraproject/FirewallApplet/
[/]
show-inactive=true
blink=true

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let it be "true", these two settings exposed via GSettings:
"Show applet also if firewalld is not running" i.e. "show-inactive"
&
"Applet icon blinks" i.e. "blink"

In this way, it is more clear what is happening.

Moreover, it is worthwhile to implement them as is "Applet shows notifications"
i.e. "notifications",
so they can be enabled also in the applet with the checkbox in the right mouse menu.
