>From looking at gnome-nettool 2.31.6 in the the maverick release, the
expectation of being able to edit the MTU information in place appears
to me to be "unreasonable or overly optimistic".

The "Configure" button next to the chosen interface correctly brings up
the Network Manager configuration tool for me, where the MTU and other
settings can be changed.  In contrast, gnome-nettool is designed only
for viewing network-related information.  So I don't see this as an
issue of missing functionality.

No other settings can be configured in the interface information area,
and the information text gives no visual indication of being editable,
so I don't see this as an interface design / UX issue either.
