It's going to be very hard to fix this in nm-applet; the issue really comes from the fact that fontconfig or gtk or some other low-level part is getting broken by the upgrade. We do expect people to reboot after running the dist-upgrade though.
Nicolas, since it's obviously wrong, please file a separate bug, I'll look to see if this can be tracked down to a particular change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965686 Title: Upgrade from lucid trigger an unreadable error dialog (font issue?)
