Patrick McCosker, could we please have a description of the bugfix in
English, please? I'm pretty handy with the Terminal, but I'm not quite
at the level of Ubuntu Demigod yet. Also, am I right in inferring from
this thread that the "Off" status on Gufw merely means that the
interface is inactive, but upon unlocking Gufw, it will confirm the
Terminal's output that Ufw IS in fact active, and the rules set are
still in effect?

Title:
  firewall apparently disabled until you authenticate

Status in Gufw:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Oneiric:

  1- install gufw etc, and start it
  2- click the lock and authenticate
  3- turn the firewall on
  4- quit
  5- (optionally, verify from the terminal that the firewall is still active)
  6- restart ufw

  what happens: it shows "Firewall status: off" (greyed out), until you authenticate
  what should happen: if the firewall state can't be reported until you authenticate, gufw shouldn't show something that looks like it's actually off
