aaah ok. well here's a list:

1. gui-wise knowing if a network is secured or not is not obvious (in the
selection list) - a little lock icon would be good. as opposed to colors. sure
- needs some gfx work.
2. also sorting by signal strength OR name is good and make sure it doesnt
update so often to make it hard to select a network (sometimes)
3. signal strength in the gadget i've never seen updated and i've never see
the popup list of ap's show signal strength.
3. no way to specifically disable connman on specific devices. eg "please
ignore eth1" or "ignore usb0" etc. there is the ability to do this in connman -
there's a gnome gui to fiddle with this, just nothing in e.
4. no way to FORGET networks (delete them from your list) and even just list
remembered networks that you have
5. no way to set up a static ip, gateway, dns and so on for specific networks.
only dhcp.
6. no way to have a "network profile" - eg for eth0 be able to switch from
"home" to "work" (home is dhcp, work is static ip for example)
7. nothing to set up http proxies for specific network configs (enviornment
variables if not some system config services/setups - i havent looked into
what these are that lets things like firefox auto change proxy setup etc.
without env var)
8. no manual entry of an essid if its not broadcasting (for hidden networks)
9. i'd love to see it be able to ping the gateway or some specific ip address
or host (global config and per-network config) so it can detect when the
network went down and try a re-connect or move to a new network that does work.
10. i'd love to see a nicer notification popup when it connects or disconnects
so you know it stopped working or is changing

that's a "off the top of my head" list right now.
