Hi folks,

These are the last commits in the ‘GNOME authentication management’
series :o)  The changes bring:

        commit #1341    
        
        storing remote connections in simpler format
        (U:<tab>alias<tab>uri) in the cfg file
        (~/.gnome-commander/connections). All previous entries are
        preserved and imported as connections NOT requiring GNOME
        authorisation.
        
        commit #1344    
        
        brand new dlg for editing connection details
        
That should allow enabling/disabling the usage of g.k.m. for
authentication. The 'lock' icon in the connection list indicates if it's
being used or not.

I do not expect the code to be rock solid, but IMHO it should be
working. Please do test.

WARNING: Please backup your config file before the usage!!!!


Enjoy,
Piotr


BTW - I haven't tested it yet but the code for remote connections should
support other protocols too (just edit connections cfg file and set uri
manually to sftp:, dav: or whatever :o))) This functionality is intended
for 1.2.6, but the framework is already here.
