#1138: "Ignoring" WEP/WPA passphrase dialog makes Sugar unresponsive

    Priority:  Unspecified by Maintainer  |      Milestone:  0.86             
   Component:  sugar                      |        Version:  Git as of bugdate
    Severity:  Major                      |       Keywords:

------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 How to reproduce:
 1. Try to connect to a WEP/WPA secured WLAN you don't have (or don't
 remember) the passphrase for.
 2. When the passphrase dialog turns up, press F3 to switch to the home
 view.
 3. Press F1 to switch back to the neighborhood view.

 What happened:
 As the dialog is modal, Sugar will refuse to do _anything_ at all (except
 switching views) until it has been completed. But after you switched
 screens, the passphrase dialog is gone (probably "behind" the neighborhood
 view), so no way to do that.

 What I expected:
 If the dialog must be modal at all, it should be restricted to the
 neighborhood view. Looking up the password by opening Terminal and running
 gpg should be possible.
 Also, the passphrase dialog should reappear when switching back (probably
 just another metacity-triggered layering bug).
