statically configured gateway addresses being lost on location switch

[Stuart Bishop]

If you have interfaces with statically configured IP addresses, the gateway
addresses are not saved when you save a location. ie. If I switch locations and
switch back again, the default gateways are now all blank.

I've opened a bug upstream about this:

Just done a fresh install of 5.04 and also suffering from this problem.

For people suffering from this problem who don't want to recompile the program,
as a temporary workaround you can just add entries similar to the following
into: /etc/gnome-system-tools/network/profiles.xml.

Just add the following in the appopriate profile->interface->configuration section:-

  <gateway>your.ip.address</gateway>
  <gatewaydev>ethX</gatewaydev>

These settings will obviously be lost if you change the config but may help someone.
