I was going along making schematics and hit on an odd thing -- maybe I never tired it before.
I wanted a symbol like Vdd with a flat line under it and pin going down, representing a positive supply usually,
and with a name 20V_IN.  I also have a row of connector  netnames I wanted to connect to this
but gnetlist would not see the  attached attribute, and only used the "inherited" one, (which I would call
a default attrib likely to be overridden, not inherited).

To get a drc2 run without errors I could add another of the "flag" symbols with 20V_IN netname= added.
Without the extra symbol, (see screenshot here:  http://cibolo.com/docs/gschem_gnetlist_pwr_flag_bug.png ),
gnetlist errored:

Checking nets with only one connection...
ERROR: Net 'VDC' is connected to only one pin: J2:1 .

It would be nice to be able to just have the netname attrib on the net to the connector do it without needing two
of the "flag" symbols.

This is seen with the https://github.com/vzh/geda-gaf/tree/unstable-1.9
version of geda-gaf
