[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Showing 3G Connection Errors

[Daniel Castelo]

I've applied Eben's mockup, I also tried to show the connection errors using
an alert inside the palette.
This solution has the problem that Tomeu said: when user clicks "connect",
the palette is hidden and users could miss the notification.
Is a solution that doesn't look nice, because the palette should resize to
show the errors.
