NetworkManager Applet

NetworkManager has had a LOT of great improvements lately. In particular: VPN support, a connection editor, and more intelligent WPA/WPA2 Enterprise configuration. I even noticed that it no longer asks me to enter that damned keychain password over and over again out-of-the-box in F9 pre-release!

However, one feature I was really looking forward to, that does not seem to be in the F9 pre-release is an option in the applet to manually rescan for wireless networks. Sometimes (for whatever reason), my router is not seen during the first scan, and I have to restart the service to rescan for it. Would be nice to have a manual rescan in the menu of the applet.

One other thing I noticed was that occasionally (rarely), nm-applet asks me for my WPA2 password right after login, even though it is saved. Rather than typing in my password, I hit cancel, and select my network from the dropdown list, which it connects to perfectly fine (without password request). The only thing I can assume is happening is that in these circumstances, NetworkManager is trying to connect to the network too soon after login, and wherever the password is stored is not yet unlocked.
