[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#645815: network-manager-gnome: Should not create system-wide connections by default

[Julien Valroff]

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.9.0-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

nm-connection-editor creates system-wide connections by default. This forces
the active user to authenticate as an administrative user or as root.

The previous behaviour (I'd say before 0.9 but not 100% sure) was imho
correct: standard users could create private connections without needing
extra rights. The current default behaviour prevents standard users from
creating any connection, even private.

Cheers,
Julien
