Comment 7 for bug 262191

James,

It is indeed more of stylistic reviews from the NetworkManager developers on the mailing list. To quote Dan Williams:
"So the reason this didn't get merged in the first place is that when
this is used, the auth dialog looks like ass. Having _3_ buttons there
has confused every user I've ever seen, and makes me read things a few
times whenever I get the dialog. It's just bad UI. Plus, it's not
something you can change in the connection editor out-of-band from
authentication. That's not to say it doesn't fill a need and fix the
bug, but the solution is not one I'd like to have upstream."

I tend to agree that the fix is not ideal in terms of "look and feel" and that's partly why I didn't immediately subscribe u-u-s, because it seemed unclear to be how to handle this patch in light of the discussions about debdiffs on ubuntu-devel mailing list, since it would need some major changes to be merged upstream (working on these changes atm, but not sure how long it will take).

Thanks,

Matt
