See attachments:

interfaces-1 is the hand-constructed /etc/network/interfaces that 
works (i.e. gives me the correct network connectivity).

I then entered network settings

Note that the gateway editbox was empty.

Entered 192.168.0.1 into the gateway edit box and hit the Apply 
button which became greyed (as expected).

interfaces-2 is the resulting /etc/network/interfaces and is missing 
the gateway entry.

BTW why does the network settings dialog box exceed the screen size 
vertically at 1024x768 and is not resizeable until after 
administrator mode is entered (of course this requires one to know 
that one can Alt-drag the box so as to make the Administrator Mode 
button visible first!!!).

The above performed immediately after performing an adept-update.

The interface is a wired interface, fwiw.
