I have two machines, one running Precise and the other running Quantal. I see this issue just as often in one as in the other.
I have not had problems due to memory leaks / excessive memory usage on either machine. (There may have been leaks; I haven't watched closely; but the amount used by nm-applet et al has never been problematic for me.) I see several different symptoms associated with this Bug entry. I have only ever seen one specific problem: The "VPN Connections" menu is completely empty. It does seem to be associated with the system going to sleep and waking up again. Killing and restarting nm-applet always fixes the problem. Other sub-menus may also disappear (right now I'm seeing this issue and "More Networks" is also empty), but I don't use any other menus often enough to speak to it. This reproduces regularly for me. Not after every suspend/resume but after most. Let me know if further debugging would be useful. I'll try running in Valgrind; I don't think there's a memory leak but could believe some sort of memory stomp or other issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779754 Title: NM status icon sometimes not clickable Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Sometimes lately after upgrade to Natty the network manager status icon is not possible to click on, nothing happens.
