Public bug reported:
I think there is something wrong with my wireless range extender, it
keeps dropping connections. However, wicd-gtk handles this particularly
badly, when I come back to my computer I find dozens of "Wireless
Network Authentication Required" windows. Since this is hardware related
rather than password related, I don't know why wicd needs to pop up
these windows, but in any case there is no point having more than more
than one of these windows open at the same time.
I would expect wicd-gtk to never fill up my taskbar with authentication
windows.
A workaround is to run <code> while wmctrl -c "Wireless Network
Authentication Required" || wmctrl -c "Wireless Network Authentication
Required"; do sleep 0.1 ; done</code> (The || is only required as wmctrl
returns false if it gets a transient X error, so adding the || makes it
more robust.
