[Bug 262191] Re: NM 0.7 Regression from 0.6.6 using VPNC plugin

[Matt Trudel]

In terms of usability, I've only really had reviews from one of my
coworkers who used a very similar patch I pushed to be adopted in Hardy,
and no apparent annoyance there. In terms of other users, I didn't hear
of good or bad reviews about the third checkbox :)

I'd probably leave it to Soren Hansen or Alexander Sack to make the call
about this, since they are much more familiar with the package and code
than I am, I think.

In terms of my personal opinion about this, i think we should probably
bring up the patch even if it's not in upstream, if only because the
functionality was there in Hardy... I think it's a general rule of thumb
(or should be), that you don't want to take a feature out if it's being
used. Then again, I am not a MOTU, only starting to get familiar with
the guidelines, rules and all. Maybe it be a good idea to bring it up on
the ubuntu-devel mailing list?

The fact that there is a bug open about this means that it is; but I'd
be interested to know *how much*. I didn't notice much interest in
trying to fix the bug in another way that the patch I'm proposing, and
I'm since my UI skills are somewhat limited, it might take me a little
while to get Dan's proposed way of fixing the bug to a working state --
so far, all I have is the modified UI in glade done. I'll be spending
more time on it this weekend.
