[Bug 1116317] Re: [ffe] allow option to create user connections by default

[Ritesh Khadgaray]

This allows a user to create user connection by default, if he/she does
not have the admin(sudo) priviliges

-- testing

* Create the below policy file

root at x230:/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority# cat 90-mandatory.d/nm.pkla 
[Adding or changing system-wide NetworkManager connections]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system
ResultActive=no

[Adding or changing user-owned NetworkManager connections]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own
ResultActive=yes

* Try connecting to a secure network ( w/ password) . Connection would
fail

** (nm-applet:24829): WARNING **: Failed to add/activate connection:
(32) Insufficient privileges.


With the patched pkg, this would work fine..

These do not break any existing functionality, from what I could see.


** Patch added: "proposed patch for raring"
