Public bug reported:
When I first login my wireless will connect just fine, but clicking on
the wireless indicator will not list any wireless networks, nor the
usual VPN options. As I use openvpn this is a problem. A simple network-
manager restart always fixes the problem.
This issue occurs 1 in 3 logins and is not restricted to this laptop or
release - I had exactly the same experience on my previous Toshiba
laptop, and on other laptops which I have given to other staff, from
clean installs.
All the laptops have openvpn installed, so it is likely that that is the
common thread.

For the wireless indicator menu to fully populate, enabling me to change
wireless network, or connect to a VPN.
