I feared that this one in particular would be too difficult to fix 
completely, but what about ensuring that the password prompt has a "save 
password for future use" checkbox, so the password only has to be 
entered once per encrypted wifi network? Some password prompts include 
this checkbox, and some do not. I realize this approach would involve 
more than adding a checkbox to a dialog, but I kept this bug a paper cut 
in hopes that it could be fixed with subtle keyring settings changes.

If you don't believe a trivial solution will be found, please mark 
invalid in hundredpapercuts and mark the bug as affecting project 
ayatana (we are collecting usability bugs there). Feel free to choose 
another paper cut to round out our 10 for the week :)
