No Admin Mode Button for Network Settings

[David]

There is a message on the "Network Settings" page that reads:

Changes in this section requires root access.
Click the "Administrator Mode" button to allow modifications.

The problem is, there is no "Administrator Mode" button available to click!

I think it is just off the bottom of the screen. Can you try using alt+drag to move the window
up?

[David (damollitor)]

You are absolutely right!

Well then, I'd like to change the bug report to read:
Default size should be smaller as I cannot resize the window to be any less vertically
large. So if I want to see the top of the screen, I need to drag, if I want to see the
bottom of the screen I need to drag :-/

Mine too. This affects a number of KDE Control Centre settings applets, I just
checked quickly and it also applies to Samba.

See:

KControl opens windows which are smallified, not fitting the whole UI (and
worse, referring at the top of the window to a button which is obscured at the
bottom).

Suggest that either the Administrator button is relocated to the top of the
window, or the window discovers some way of telling KControl how big it would
like to be when it grows up.

My screen res is 1280x960, which ought to comfortably fit a "Network settings"
applet, even in OSX ;)

NB: It seems there are other similar bugs listed, people may describe this issue
differently if they haven't worked out you can reveal the Admin button by
resizing the settings window.

Thanks!
