Sorry, I should've explained that I'm writing an application and I'm
interfacing with NetworkManager through dbus.
I want my application to get the list of wireless networks from
NetworkManager and allow the user to select it and
then tell NetworkManager to connect to the network.  What I was hoping I
could do was to somehow tell nm-applet,
from my application, to prompt the user for security credentials.  Then I
can tell NetworkManager to use the new connection.
