Comment (by warner):

 yeah, I think:

 * helper.furl not configured: white, or something neutral
 * helper.furl configured and connected: pale green
 * helper.furl configured and not connected: red

 I wouldn't want to imply that Helper-less clients are somehow inferior,
 but at the same time if you've configured a Helper and it's not connected,
 then things are mildly wrong (upload performance will be lower than you'd
 expect).

 OTOH, an '''introducer''' that isn't connected is more serious.. that
 should be properly red.
