@David what makes this not a papercut? From the guidelines [1], a papercut is:
1. A bug, or an unintended problem occurring within an existing piece of 
software, 
2. the presence of which makes a computer more difficult or less pleasant to 
use, 
3. that is easy to fix, 
4. that the average user would encounter...
5. in a default installation of Ubuntu or Kubuntu, Desktop Edition. 

1. this is definitely an unintended problem
2. try logging onto a new WPA network in Ubuntu, from the perspective of a 
non-technical user, it is a nightmare. The UI pretty much forces you into 
specifying a CA cert, otherwise it yells at you that not giving one is 
dangerous, yet it provides no help to the user as to where these certs live on 
the file system
3. as I've said before, this should be a one line fix 
4. anyone who wants to log onto a new WPA network will encounter this
5. this effects the default Ubuntu desktop edition
