 have it.
 What is the content?

If you want to start wpa_supplicant automatically, you'll need
(unstable) dbus = 1.1.2 which supports system service activation. The
content of the activation file is:

#cat /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service
[D-BUS Service]
Name=fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant
Exec=/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u
User=root

That must be the point I was unclear about.  I had assumed that dbus
1.1.1 and later had system activation, but I guess I'm wrong.  Thanks.

  Hi, 
  
  For those who haven't seen it, there is a blog-post by Bryan Clark
  regarding UI principles, arguing against having a Refresh-button in the
  NetworkManager-applet menu. (Not sure that was ever the intention?)
 
 Well, there were requests for a manual refresh button somewhere, and
 Bryan's argument is that having one anywhere is wrong.  Again, I think
 there are simply bugs in NetworkManager and the applet that would
 improve the experience for users.
 

I realize you probably already know this, Dan, since you people
apparently ride the bus together (in the real non-virtual world? I find
this utterly weird since to me you were two random guys on the internet
:-) ). 

But for those who haven't seen it, Bryan Clark has posted a follow-up,
suggesting there should be an UI feedback icon for Network is currently
scanning:
