There's one thing we need to make better than the N9, though... If I
said I *don't* want to connect, the app that requested a connection
needs to shut up about it. It's frustrating when I try to launch the map
when abroad (roaming makes it even worse, and guess where do you need a
map the most...), and have to dismiss the dialog 2 or 3 times before it
lets me use the app.

It should probably not ask again within the same "session", maybe only
colorize the network icon whenever something wants to access the network
without popping up the dialog every time.
