The machine is set to lock the screen after inactivity; the screen was locked for most of this time. When I returned to the machine and unlocked the screen, I had *82* (I counted...) identical "Authorization required...." dialogs onscreen (see attached screenshot). Each dialog contained a request to connect to a network that I had previously connected to. Each request was for the same network - n-m was asking about the same network 82 times, not asking to connect to 82 different networks. I have observed the same or similar behavior in in 11.10: When roaming to a new network, network-manager finds a new network then asks for permission to connect to it, even if you've already connected to that network in the past. If you do not answer the prompt, network-manager displays a new prompt after a minute or two. I believe this is a result of scanning for networks while not associated - n-m seems to put up a new dialog if (a) it's not associated and (b) it finds a network to connect to. This happens regardless of whether a dialog is already onscreen. network-manager should avoid throwing up an authorization dialog if a dialog is already onscreen.
