Package: gnome
Severity: important

gnome-control-panel/Network - app to configure network settings in gnome.
it does not remembers settings that have been configured - first, when having
multiple interfaes, everytime i start my system there is shown than both are
enabled when in fact only one is. unchcking second does both to restart.
another thing is about DNS settings - i have added there multiple nameservers more,
but after system restart these were lost. i used 'Location:' and it's save button
to store my current settings with the name, byt after restart any defaults
has benn loaded and i had to start this app and manually select 
Location/<my stored settings>

i am not sure how this app is named so i can't detail you, but when you start
gnome-control-panel it's called 'Network'.

i see below, that reportbug detected my system as squeeze/sid what is not true,
cause i was always on testing edition and i even did not upgrade to squeeze
on this machine...

cheers
