Hi Peter, I believe I suffer from the same problem as you : I can connect to saved networks but not new ones.
However, when I the connection can't be made, I've got the following line in my .xsession-errors: ** (nm-applet:1715): WARNING **: Failed to add/activate connection: (32) Insufficient privileges. The kind of things I can't also do are adding manually a new connection if the "Available to all users" checkbox is checked, since I got a "Insufficient privileges" dialog box error. If I try to edit a new connection and to chec this box, I don't have the error, but somehow, this particular setting is lost when I try to edit connections again. It might be related to the numerous problems with ConsoleKit and display manager. My setup consists of Slim (DM) and Awesome (WM).
