I am not sure this is a good fix, because an error message is an
opportunity to tell the user how to fix the problem.  If the entries are
made "insensitive", how will the user find out how to enable them?

Title:
  At login screen, error message when choosing wi-fi network without
  stored password

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  network-manager-gnome 0.9.6.2-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu Q

  1. Choose "Lock/Switch Account..."
  2. Choose "Switch Account..."
  3. At the login screen, open the network menu, and choose an encrypted wi-fi 
network that you haven't used before.

  What happens: An error message appears.

  What should happen: The menu item should have been insensitive.
  (Because you could use it, if you logged in then used it then locked
  or logged out again.)
