Well, there were requests for a manual "refresh" button somewhere, and Bryan's argument is that having one anywhere is wrong. Again, I think there are simply bugs in NetworkManager and the applet that would improve the experience for users. That said, I fully admit that I haven't been able to pay 0.6.x the attention it's deserved for the last year or so (due to my working full-time for Red Hat on OLPC). Now, I have been concentrating on getting 0.7 out the door over the last 6 weeks, and once we get a 0.7 release out the door I'll spend some time cleaning up bits in 0.6.x (like auto-scanning behavior and the user-triggered scanning). However, if somebody beats me to the auto-scanning behavior patch (feel free to ask what should happen and I'll gladly say) I won't be crying myself to sleep.
