Bug Description
I guess this is a network-manager problem, but I'm not sure.
1. Attempt to connect to a wireless network from the taskbar dropdown menu.
2. Close the authentication prompt window without entering a password.
3. Return hours later to find tens if not hundreds of duplicate authentication prompt windows for that wireless network.
Two things come to mind here:
1. Ubuntu should not infinitely continue to prompt for authentication to a wireless network that it has a wrong / no password for.
2. Ubuntu should not open a duplicate window for authentication. If one is already open, there should be no need to open a duplicate.
