[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#578587: network-manager-gnome: nm-applet does not remember passwords

[ben]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.8-1
Severity: normal


nm-applet runs in my system tray.

I have a wpa network.

nm-applet used to manage the connection perfectly.  Since the last
upgrade or so it prompts for my network password every time it wants
to connect.

I've gone through "Edit connections" and added the password there too
(but should this really be necessary?) to no avail.  The password box
is blank the next time I look.

I have a VPN configured, but it doesn't come up automatically.  Not
related, I assume?

What other info can I get you?
