Hi, the toolbar icons that get used for connect/disconnect are
actually icons for "connected/disconnected".  That is, they don't
visualize an action, but a state.  The customary usage of these
connected/disconnected icons is to display the _current_ state, not
the state that is reached after pressing the button.

The icon images should be swapped, since otherwise they are confusing
to users accustomed to them.
