Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

When selecting certificate and key files in the network-manager-openvpn UI, I'm required to browse back to the folder containing my credentials in each of the file dialog boxes. This is tedious.

It would be nice if the dialog boxes shared a working directory, so that once I've browsed to the correct folder once, the next file dialog would already be focused on the right location in my filesystem.

Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10

Confirmed here. Today was the first time I used any vpn plugin in network manager and this is the thing that annoyed me.
