Actually, three problems remain ;-).
1. I've rebooted and reloged in several times, but I cannot save a connection because it complaints about insufficient privileges. (I get a pop-up message that says "Connection add failed", "Insufficient privileges"). I have logged with kdm (or gdm) and have a local session: ramon@Bufo:~$ ck-list-sessions Session1: unix-user = '1000' realname = 'ramon diaz-uriarte' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2011-10-23T16:29:00.632372Z' login-session-id = '4294967295' 2. There is the problem of not being able to access my previously defined connections (versions 0.8.1). They must be somewhere, but the new versions do not seem to be able to find them. 3. Finally, connections saved using, say, gksudo nm-connection-editor are stored under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections with passwords, etc, as plain text. Sure, they are only readable to root, but ssn't this a potential problem? If I remember correctly, with previous versions, you could only access connections (and their passwords) after entering your password via keyring. Best, R.
