I modified the glade file and added a property active which is 'True', but I have to trigger the relevant callback in nm-connection-editor.c so that the UI is re-populated. Tried calling the toggled callback by hand or calling gtk_button_set_active() but nope. There are (editor->orig_scope == ) checks in the code which I think reverts the active state of the checkbox back to False I don't know why.
