(Get the code!)
Ah ok. Well that's really a NetworkManager-only issue. notify-osd just displays what it gets sent from applications via DBus/libnotify. So the solutions for NetworkManager is to:
- not use a notification at all for this
- but present the user with a dialog right away
or
- hint the user with just a list of available network-
- mark or start a dialog allowing the user to take action (select the desired network-cell/ESSID)
But this issue really has to get some input and consideration from the design- and user-interaction team. This is one of those cases where NetworkManager abuses notifications for user-interaction (well we got rid of the action in the jaunty-cycle, but that was only half of the solution), where it should have used proper dialogs form the start.
