Hmm, not to be Ubuntu-centric, but I see this brainstorm idea: "Intelligent integration of Network Manager with applications" http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12934/ I thought I saw another one about selecting one's location as well, but now I can't find it. In any event, the idea is to basically mimic what OS X currently does with locations. You can select where you are (Via Apple->Location), and it will set the current profile of the computer (Internet sharing enabled/disabled, airport on/off, etc.) Any thoughts about tying some functionality like this together with some D-Bus stuffs?
