Executive summary: Subject says it all. Nelson on IRC brought this up, I
filed a bug, and at least Koen agreed on IRC :-)

- ---------------------------------------------
Currently whenever I try to connect to a WLAN I am asked if I want to
save that connection. This is a bit too annoying and could be reduced in
2 steps:

1) Only offer to save after actually getting an IP address via DHCP, it
is not worth saving a connection which does not actually work and where
we did not specify a static IP.

2) Only saving a connection on the users request (e.g. through the
connectivity manager, or by pressing the menu button and saving an entry
in the "network search list" etc).

Very often you might only want to use a random WLAN only once and never
go back. As it is, you have to click away one superfluous dialog most of
the time.
