OK...  it's possible an SSL dialog was on another desktop... :P  Based on the
ridiculous number of dialogs I'm having to accept, I think that is most likely
what initially happened...

Anyway, the gmail cert issue is driving me nuts because I have multiple gmail
accounts on each CM instance and each account goes through this...  :P :P


Ah...  Thanks Charles!  That seems to have stopped the issue...   I've
unchecked one account to see if the cert changes have stopped...


Questions:  

"Automatically accept unknown valid SSL certificates" seems oxymoronic...  In
the screen shot, they appear valid and 'known' (however that might be
defined)...  Could this be better worded?  Maybe: "Automatically accept valid
SSL certificates" -- what's "unknown" about these gmail certs?

>From comment 5: When a "new" cert's expiration date is sooner, would it be
acceptable[1] to ignore it and keep the current, longer lasting one? [without
requiring an option?]

[1] Tried reading part of RFC5426; but I don't have enough experience with
certs to grok it.
