Comment 3 for bug 747172

Hi,

I have a branch (i will link it to this bug) which desensitises the action buttons in the appview and detailsview and the addons table in the detailsview if the network state is disconnected. I think this is a reasonable stopgap measure for natty.

The branch thus far does not address the error dialog, but the need for this is mitigated.

Perhaps a label in the statusbar noting no network connection is a good idea?

I feel the best way to address this bug in natty+1 is to have an offline queue of packages awaiting installation the next time a net connection is available.

Cheers
