[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#754483: Additional information: issue specific to Gnome Flashback?

[Tim Day]

Investigating this in a bit more depth on one of my Jessie laptops, I
note that if I switch the desktop session from Gnome Flashback to Gnome
Classic (or, after installing it, Mate), then attempting to join a new
wifi network does throw up the expected dialog prompting for a password,
and generally seems to work as expected.

So seems to me the issue may be specific to Flashback.

(For me, switching to Mate looks like a good solution in that it seems
to tick all the boxes which were leading me to favour Flashback over the
other Gnome options, but I may try and persist with Classic for a while
longer).
