I agree that storing state in gconf is wrong/suboptimal ;) But I personally haven't had the need for editing stored connections. When would this be needed?

What if you don't want a given connection to try to autoconnect?

bclark and I have played with adding a button to the notification bubbles when you're connected to say things like "don't automatically connect me ever again" and such. I think there's a lot of room to use the notification bubbles more to save users clicks rather than having to run to the connection editor in the right-click menu.
