 I don't think this is so much of a problem, because affects only to people
 who are connected to the 3g network (that's why I said "ideally").

 Best is to listen to the "popup" signal in the palette. For examples grep
 the code like this: "grep -R connect src | grep popdown"

 > And I add the handler when I show it:

 self._palette.info_box.show()

 This could be better done by listening to the "popup" signal in the
 palette, similar to above.

 connection_time.strftime('%H : %M : %S'))

 the country? Because it isn't a "normal" date.

 I also don't know, can you ask Sayamindu and/or the localization mailing
 lists? Maybe the time format is the same in all countries, not sure.
