Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 11.04
network-manager-gnome 0.8.4~git.20110318t152954.9c4c9a0-0ubuntu1
Authentication for creating/editing system connections in nm-connection-editor
works only in gnome/unity session started via gdm.
Other combinations result in "available to all users" checkbox being grayed out
or "insufficient privileges" error.
Tested cases:
- gdm + openbox session.
- no dm + "ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session" + workaround of
broken ck session management in bug #483130
in both tested cases nm-applet fails to authenticate user to edit/create
system connection.
console output when trying to create system wireless connection: insufficient
privileges when hitting "save" button
