I think the greying out of the buttons is a known but harmless buglet. They
work fine, regardless.

But my control panel correctly indicates the connection status.

It might be worth upgrading the control panel, even if it's nominally the
same. I installed mine from the same archive that had the extension, and
apart from the buglet mentioned above, have had no problems. Maybe there's
a subtle change somewhere.

So don't try to reason it out- just change it blindly. Works for me...
Usually.

By the way; do you like Aaron? I tried it. It's quite pretty, but I must
say that if those icons are anything to go by, I'm not looking forward to
that part of Copeland. I much prefer a nice flat (and fat) target to hit.
