currently the information is available on click only. for most people this 
will be a nice improvement as it provides the functionality, but doesn't force 
it upon the user.

clicking on the connection opens it and if you close and open the popup, it 
stays open. so this is good.

some improvements might include:

* allow more than one connection to be expanded at a time
* remember which connections are expanded between restarts and network re-
connects (so if you disconnect from and then reconnect to a wifi AP which you 
had expanded to show more info, on disconnect it would collapse and on connect 
it would automatically expand again)

that way if you wish to see the connection information you only need to click 
once. ever.

thoughts?
