Ubuntu: Network Manager will not forget!

For a long time I have had a wired and wireless network shared with the rest of the apartments where I live. This has been all nice - except one of the Wireless APs is just within reach of where I often sit, but far from good enough to be useful. This should not pose a problem, except I told the Network Manager about the AP's ESSID and told it the key to it. Now it insist on switching to this AP every now and then, rendering my connection almost useless.

I have tried to search the internet for a solution but the words "remove", "essid" and "network manager" tend to bring up pages about someone who cannot connect to the internet...

But today, I suddenly found it!!

This is where the magic takes place:

~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks

The path seems obvious - retro spectrum.
