James_w's PPA fixes it for me. Thank you very much! Steps which reproduce the problem in Maverick, but which cause no such problem in the PPA: 1. Run "gnome-network-properties" 2. Change the location. 3. Press close 4. Press "Apply System-Wide" on the dialog that pops up. 5. Bring focus to the authentication window by clicking on the window header (NOT the password box) 6. Type password, press enter
