Ouch. That's not ideal. Agreed, there is potential for improvement.

I just got the update via Factory, and it works like a charm. And
did not require a reboot or restart of GNOME, even.
Thank you very much, Dominique!

Yes, though I have had hotel networks where the automatic detection
did not work reliably. Probably because it was a larger hotel chain
and they were routing private IP addresses via some central locations
in a different timezone (think different timezones within the US).
Plus, when I board a plane I usually switch to the destination timezone.
Without being connected to the Internet. That one probably won't work
automatically before GNOME 4.14 when gnome-clock and gnome-itinary will
be coupled? ;-)

PS: Below my current "GNOME 3 on SUSE Papercuts" list; several issues
(incl. the two listed at the end) have been resolved already, and I feel
things definitely are moving in the right direction.
No indication that VPN fails and why (NetworkManager, GNOME)
