Bug#524498: gnome-netstatus-applet: does not comply with new policykit - launches gnome-network-admin with gksu

[Oz N]

Package: gnome-netstatus-applet
Version: 2.12.2-1
Severity: important

The new version of gnome-network-admin requires that it would be
launched as normal user. When launching it with gksu, everything is
grey, and not configurable. 
However, clicking on gnome-netstatus-applet and then Configure, launches
gnome-network-admin with gksu instead as normal user. Thus,
configuringation options are locked. 
When launching gnome-network-admin from terminal I can unlock the
configuration options with my normal user password. 
I think solving this bug is worth the attention, because not everybody
likes using network-manager. 
Thanks, 
Oz
