HEAD 1.450 applet.c patch

[Bill Moss <bmoss CLEMSON EDU>]

The 'Connect to Other Network...' dialog will add a menu item to 
'Wireless Networks' and will add the entered ESSID and a timestamp to 
GConf. If the user makes an error in typing the ESSID or is just 
experimenting, he end up with multiple bogus entries in GConf. Following 
the theme of not adding data to GConf until it has been verified by a 
successful connection, I submit the attached patch to gnome/applet/applet.c.

The call to nmwa_date_network_timestamp in nmwa_menu_item_active has 
been removed. Since this is the only place the function 
nmwa_date_network_timestamp is used, it has been eliminated as well.
