nm-connection-editor does not populate 'Wireless Security'

[jwishnie]

Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

To reproduce:
1. Use nm-applet UI to connect to a wireless network secured with a WPA2 passphrase
2. Open nm-connection-editor (run from terminal to see error output)
3. Select newly created Wireless connection
4. NOTE: Error output: "WARNING **: Invalid Wireless Security: Invalid Wireless Security"
5. NOTE: The 'Ok' button on the editor dialog is disabled
6. Click 'Wireless Security' tab
7. NOTE: 'Password' field is blank
8. RE-ENTER password
9. NOTE: Ok button is enabled

It appears that the dialog is not properly populating the Password field and the internal validators are therefor not letting the user click 'Ok'. This is _very_ annoying as you must know to hit the Wireless Security tab and RE-ENTER the password in order to effect _any_ changes (such as saving the connection as a System Setting)

This is in the latest Intrepid package:
network-manager-gnome 0.7~~svn20080907t033843-0ubuntu2
network-manager: 0.7~~svn20080908t183521+eni0-0ubuntu3

Hello.
I'll check it next week, now I can't connect to any wpa2 network right here.

Hi all,

This problem manifests with WEP keys as well

Latest snapshot sync (0.7~~svn20080927t101113-0ubuntu1) resolves this problem
