Sorry, I meant removing the button, this means that the features will
not be hidden, but removed, so we'd have to think

1) whether we want to remove this button
2) whether we want to keep all the features

Mi opinions are to remove the button (it clutters the UI while it's not
a commonly used feature; I've already got help docs, they're waiting to
be commited; the basic and advanced UIs don't differ too much; etc...)
and the only option that I could remove is the advanced PPP stuff, such
as PPPD options (it's a hell to port to other distros, it's almost no
used, and the people that wants to play with this surely won't mind to
edit text files), the rest is ok with me

any more opinions? I'd be glad to make the better change for most users
(even if it means not doing any change)

	Regards
