Thanks, Mike. Was just about to summarise my findings re: network button

I already had 0.9.12 final release, but the problem was that NetworkManager
wasn't running.

[jeff at localhost ~]$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu
 network_config_tool_nm = /usr/share/applications/nm-connection-editor.desktop
 ...
 network_config_tool = /usr/share/applications/YaST2/lan.desktop

There are two things that can happen when you click the network-status-tile:

1. If NetworkManager is running, it'll run "nm-connection-editor"
2. If NM is not running, it'll run "yast2 -lan" (assuming you have
   some flavor of suse installed).

There's two ways to "fix" this.  The problem stays hidden if you run NM,
but being the perfectionist that I am, here's my fix:


[jeff at localhost ~]$ gconftool-2 -t string -s
/desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu/network_config_tool
/usr/share/applications/redhat-system-config-network.desktop 

Now to figure out where in the source tree that actually lives so that
installing the RPM "just works".  Neither the final release from gnome, nor any
of Karl's patches addresses this niggly (but irritating) issue.

0.9.12-final now compiles just fine, but I need to package the patches for a
proper fedora build before posting.  Does anyone know if 0.9.13 real? The
download page and the SVN don't seem to agree on what the latest version is.
