[maemo-developers] Kill connection dialog

[From: Dominik Bartenstein]

Hi,

@Koos:
it's a PySide app and I might be able to use something like xtest to 
simulate a click. IMHO there are two issues: There are manifold modal 
dialogs to be considered (connection chooser, internet connection failed 
yes/no dialog). And it's hard to determine if a modal dialog is really 
shown.

@Thomas:
thanks for the info about the possibility of "random reboots"!

The strategy I have implemented is as follows:
When QNetworkSession's open()-method is called a QTimer with 2 minutes 
is started. When QNetworkSessions's opened-SIGNAL is emitted (i.e. 
connection was successfully established) the timer is stopped. In the 
worst-case-scenario the 'connectivity-ui-conndlgs'-processes are killed 
every 2 minutes. Would be nice if there was a possibilty to communicate 
with the 'connectivity-ui-conndlgs' via dbus. That's not possible, is it?
