Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring-manager

Intrepid development

Reproduction:
1) right click on the nm-applet icon in the notification area and select edit
2) select a network with a password and click edit
3) A window titled "Allow access" opens saying "The application 'nm-connection-editor' (/usr/bin/nm-connection-editor) wants to access the password for 'Network secret for Auto down/802-11-wireless-security/psk' in default keyring."
There are buttons labeled "Deny", "Allow Once" and "Always Allow".

-selecting "Allow Once" makes the same "Allow access" window to come up in total 3 times before getting to the editing window.
-selecting "Deny" (also x to close the window) exhibits the same behavior except no password is show under the "Wireless Security" tab

Expected behavior:
- selecting "Allow Once" should immediately open the editing window (im unsure if a password should be required the whole allow access dialog seems pointless if no password is needed but i don't know about this part)
-selecting "x" should close the window and cancel the operation
-selecting "Deny" should immediately open the editing window without a password (if this is supposed to cancel editing the network it should be labeled cancel)

 xprop | grep WM_CLASS reports the program as gnome-keyring-ask im unsure what package this is. It appears as if the "allow access" dialogue is not network manager but another package jumping in, however, it could just be networkmanager.

In jaunty I just tried this and needed to press allow once around to 20 times before it let me edit the wireless network.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? May you please also try the same with a newer release like Karmic ? Thanks in advance.

Currently in Karmic following the same procedure as above I get the same
dialoge 3 times asking for permission for the application
'nm-connection-editor' (/usr/bin/nm-connection-editor) to access my wireless
network password when I have selected "allow once". This is the same
behavior as originally reported.
