Attached image Disconnected screenshot
The messaging in the weave account preferences is confusing.  It indicates the user is "connected as: <name>" when in fact they could be Disconnected at the time.  Furthermore there is no way to edit the username in that textbox, even though it gives people the perception they can edit the existing user.

** see screenshot

Repro:
1) weave 0.8
2) open prefs
3) Disconnect your sync connection.  Two problems:
-- The messaging says "Connected as <user>" despite being connected.
-- No way to edit the user textbox even though its a clickable text region

Expected:
- If disconnected, message so you're disconnected
- make the text box un-editable if it really is supposed to be that way
