Yes, it is NM 0.9.8.0. The window title is "Connectino editor".

That did the trick (after some seconds, the new network appeared in the available network list in the tray icon and connection was estabilished), thank you! However, IMHO it's not very intuitive. In fact, I thought that the "Hidden" checkbox were referring to some sort of visibility constraint to the network configuration I was editing, rather than to the SSID of the network itself. After all:
1) if I'm there to configure a new wireless network it's because I need a hidden network which is not listed in the network tray icon (otherwise I would have simply clicked on it from there)
2) isn't the system smart enough to determine whether that network SSID is hidden or not?

Maybe the original intent was to mimic the checkbox "connect even if the
SSID is not broadcast" that is in Windows?
